LIVINGSTON, N.J. — This isn’t a regular wake-up call. A wild turkey, standing roughly two feet tall, crashed through the double-paned window of a Livingston family’s home Sunday morning.

The sound was so loud that homeowner Lena Rosenblum told The Star-Ledger of Newark she thought it was a tree crashing through the roof. The bird appeared to be uninjured.

The family called police, but when officers arrived, a beep from one of their walkie-talkies startled the bird, which flew back into the woods.
