Wild turkey cuts power to thousands of homes in Sacramento on Christmas Eve

It’s revenge for Thanksgiving.

A wild turkey gets stuck on a power line in Sacramento, Calif. on Christmas Eve — leaving more than 4,000 homes and businesses without power when Santa Claus arrives.

“There is a turkey in the line that crews are working to quickly and safely repair,” a Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) spokesperson told the Sacramento Bee.

The utility reported that 4,248 customers were without power around 12:15 pm Sunday following the bird strike.

About 20 minutes later, community groups wrote online that they received reports of people losing power.

“The power was cut off in the South Land Park section. It’s been on and off again,” Southland Park Neighborhood Association posted on X.

“This story does not spoil the feast and feast of Eid.”

Crews were immediately dispatched to repair the damage, and no power outages remained as of 12:26 a.m. on Christmas Day, according to the SMUD website.

It is still unclear what caused the bird to become entangled in the power line and what happened to the turkey afterward.

The Post has contacted SMUD for more information.

Turkeys have wreaked havoc in the Sacramento area for years, as nearly every part of the state faces a growing wild turkey population, according to the Bee.

The wild animals have broken into homes and businesses, devoured cars in the middle of traffic and even terrorized Amazon couriers and mail carriers until one postal carrier beat a turkey to death last year.
