Gregory Hailey DDS in Fair Oaks received a surprise visitor in the form of a wild turkey.

“It clawed up multiple walls to where we’re gonna have to repaint in there. Some of the glass that came in cut the dental chairs … and we’ll need some deep cleaning,” McDonald told the paper.

The manager called animal control, wh🍒i🗹ch also had issues with the bird.

“There was no wrangling this bird as an amateur. The wildlife lady kind of struggled with it,” McDonald said.

Greg Grimm, treasurer of Gold Country Wildlife Rescue, told the SacBee the “turkey may have seen its own ref꧟lection in the window and attacked it, confusing it for a romantic rival amid the mating season for the birds.”
