"They thought they were guarding their eggs. She would pace back and forth in a corner where they had [contained] her." The courtyard is walled on three sides, while a flight of stairs lead out of it. "The steps were where the geese set themselves up as sentries," said Harris. The turkey was trying to leave the courtyard, but was "thwarted by the geese," she said. "Apparently when it tried to get out, the geese were chasing it back." On Monday morning, the turkey decided to take an alternative route out of the courtyard and flew into glass windows.
Wallace called the Kitchener-Waterloo Humane Society to assist the turkey, but before they were able to help, it had smashed through a third-floor window into an empty meeting room. "It was right over top of us. It was just this huge smashing sound and glass dropping three stories," said Wallace. Turkeys are capable of flying short distances and heights. With assistance from the humane society, the turkey was chased into a cage and taken away. It had suffered serious injuries to its throat and had to be euthanized. The turkey left a hole that was about a couple of feet wide and a great deal of broken glass in the room. The window has since been repaired.
