Security Cameras Capture Wild Turkey Stealing Doormat

What do you call a running turkey? Fast food! Ha! But what about a turkey that is literally standing at your front door? Easy food.


While this little fella may not want an invitation to Thanksgiving, he will make your day with his klepto claws. This video will give you a giggle of a gobble after a security camera captures a wild turkey stealing a doormat. A man by the name of Tim heard something rustling outside his front door. He assumed it was a package, maybe a neighbor needing a cup of sugar. But what he didn’t expect was to encounter a wild turkey. A wild turkey that really liked Tim’s decor style.

This wild turkey wasn’t just curious about Tim’s house or its surroundings. He had actually taken quite a liking to Tim’s doormat. But he wasn’t just pecking at the mat, he was actually trying to pick it up and make off with it!

Why would a turkey want a doormat that says, “Welcome?” Maybe he wanted to show off the ladies with additional décor for his tree house. Or maybe he was a sensible turkey and he wanted a mat to wipe his claws. Either way, Tim didn’t want this wild turkey to make off with his mat. So, Tim used the audio intercom on his security camera to shoo the turkey way!

Thankfully it worked. The turkey was quite surprised and he was shooed away in the process of stealing the welcome mat. Thankfully no one was harmed in the making of this video as after the turkey scampered off the front porch. You never know what wild animals are going to do. What would you have done in this situation?

“But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.” Job 12:7-10
