Catch that turkey.
A wild turkey takes flight, briefly perching on the narrow ledge before falling.
That's when a cop rushes in with a white bed sheet.
But he's no match for the frisky fowl who's been evading cops for two weeks.
Her name is Astoria.
She's named after the neighborhood she was first spotted in.
But now she's flown the coop, flying over the East River and has landed here in Manhattan.
There have been Astoria sightings all over the city.
She even went to Starbucks for a coffee fix.
On Sunday, she showed up in Central Park.
Get him, Allison, tell that truck to stop.
Today I helped her cross the street so she wouldn't get hit by cars on New York's swaggy Park Avenue.
There we go...
This is mating season.
So we think that the motivation for her to wander is to seek a mate.
Everyone's rooting for Astoria to find true love in the Big Apple.
