Video: Turkey chases Massachusetts police cruiser
NATICK, Mass. -- A turkey apparently ruffled a few feathers -- mildly -- by chasing a suburban Boston police cruiser as it pulled out of a parking lot, reports CBS Boston.
The Natick Police Department posted a Facebook video of the encounter with the bird.
Poultry in Pursuit. Our Downtown Dinde has taken a fascination with looking at himself in our hubcaps. Each cruiser is being equipped with a gravy air freshener to help keep him away.

In the video, the driver is seen backing out and the turkey is walking alongside the vehicle -- apparently admiring himself in the hubcaps.
When the cruiser begins to drive away, the turkey picks up speed and the chase is on.
"Each cruiser is being equipped with a gravy air freshener to help keep him away," police joked in a Facebook post.
This was apparently not the first time the turkey had been spotted, as residents soon chimed in with their own stories.
In a later comment, police posted a photo from earlier in the week that seemed to show the turkey perched atop a traffic light.
