Wild Turkey and beer? Hmmm!

So we have a turkey flying into a beer truck. Also a pelican flew into a swimmer. Seems the birds are getting quite personal.
Does this have anything to do with global worming?

By the way reporter, you fail to mention how this affected the bird. Hope it didn’t hurt the poor fella too much!!
