Talk about fowl play.
A Staten Island man found himself in a wild confrontation when a feisty turkey chased him around his driveway in a bird-brained showdown caught on camera.
Noel Colon had just stepped out of his house and was heading to work when the winged menace swooped in from behind and aggressively flapped after him all the way to his car, the Staten Island Advance reported.
“Oh s–t,” a frenzied Colon could be heard saying in the chaotic home surveillance footage.
The Grasmere man, thinking he was in the clear after losing sight of the angry bird, opened his driver’s side door of his white Ford SUV — only for the beaked bully to pop up right behind it.
The berserk gobbler continued flapping after Colon, who was seen frantically sprinting around his driveway screaming expletives, while wearing a backpack and carrying a shopping bag and what appeared to be a large wrapped gift.
The National Grid worker, who eventually managed to jump into his truck and drive away, said the crazed encounter nearly gave him a “heart attack.”
“I’m usually never afraid with anything that happens in life,” he told the local outlet.
“I just got with the flow. But that was something that was just completely, completely unexpected and I was freaked out. I was concerned with just getting to work on time.”
Colon said he initially tried to avoid disturbing the turkey when he spotted it on his walkway, but things went sideways when the feathered fiend let out a noise and charged at him.
He later found 11 eggs near where the crazed chase unfolded and realized his avian attacker was likely protecting its unborn poults.
“They turkey, she comes back every morning around 6:30 until like 7:30 a.m. and she hangs out there in the morning,” Colon told the outlet.
“So I didn’t want to move the eggs, because that’s hers. Now, when I see a turkey, I walk across the street.”
