Principal chases off wild turkey on school grounds - WWBT

CARY, N.C. (WTVD) - In North Carolina, an elementary school has been dealing with the presence of a wild turkey looking for love.

It has refused to move for cars, and the principal is now gaining attention for how he chases the bird off campus.

It’s the side of a principal that not many people can say they usually see.

Alston Ridge Elementary’s Niko Schutte was seen chasing off a wild turkey on school grounds with an umbrella.

“Maybe he’s found something that works,” one parent, Bernice Tettey, said.

“Turkey Tom” has been a pest at carpool, refusing to move and pecking at glass, cars, and anyone he perceives as a threat.

“This was a young male turkey who probably was looking for a mate in the group that he was in and was unable to find one,” Cary Animal Services Officer Beth Wilson said. “So, it was looking elsewhere. He was trying to claim a territory, and I guess he decided the carpool lane was going to be it.”

But the male bird was looking for love in all the wrong places, circling a Cary police car to claim his spot.

“Officer Savage, who’s the school resource officer, was able to kind of scare him away a few times, but he decided that he wasn’t afraid of her anymore. And that’s typical,” Wilson said.

Cary Animal Services says it’s only a matter of time before all those hormones will abate soon.

Parents hope this is a learning lesson.

“I just believe that we should teach our kids to learn to live with wildlife and know how to avoid them when they’re in their territory or when they’re in their environment,” Tettey said.

The principal’s open umbrella is doing the trick for now.

“That’s a perfect response for getting him to move away, because you have to make yourself as bigger than they are,” Wilson said.

Loud noises are another way to safely get a wild turkey to move away from people.
