Wild Turkey Captured After Leading Animal Control Officers on a Chase in San Francisco

This wild turkey has been causing a lot of trouble in San Francisco’s Castro neighborhood.

San Francisco Animal Control officers released this mugshot after capturing the bird Thursday.

Turkeys are considered a hazard, running in and out of traffic.

This turkey even led officers on a wild chase, even flying up to a rooftop before its capture.

Officers say the bird will likely spend some time at a rescue center before it's released.
