When 23-year-old dental assistant, and Staten Island local Gina talked about her fear of the borough's wild turkeys, well, it was more amusing than terror-inducing. She declared: "It was straight out of Cujo. I'm sitting in my car Facebooking on my phone when turkeys jumped on my windshield. I screamed like I was being murdered. They just kept looking at me like it was their car. I felt trapped. I was so scared." But now a new video has surfaced showing the turkeys standing eerily still, and it puts the fear in us. Really, the first few seconds of footage are almost Hitchcockian, or at least James Nguyenian.
The Staten Island Advance reports that the state Department of Environmental Conservation is still working out that survey that will decide the fate of the feathered residents. Meanwhile, the man behind the camera of this video told them, “I had no idea they were there. All of a sudden I see these huge birds and hear all the noise they’re making. It was weird... nobody was running from me, and there was that one guy who was just staring at me when I started filming." *Shivers*
