Wild Turkey Invades Quebec Long-Term Care Facility, No Casualties Reported
A wild turkey broke into a long-term care home south of Quebec City over the weekend by smashing through a third-floor window.
The local health authority says the animal entered an empty office at the Beauceville, Que., facility around 6:30 a.m. on April 13 but didn’t injure anyone.
Fast-acting staff members at de Beauceville long-term care home closed the office door to lock the animal inside.
The health authority for the Chaudière-Appalaches region says that a few minutes later the turkey left through the window it had broken.
A video circulating on social media shows the turkey flapping around in the office and knocking papers to the ground.
In February, a resident armed with a slingshot killed a turkey that had been terrorizing the town of Louiseville, Que., about 167 kilometres west of Beauceville.
