Pecking Order: Wild Turkeys Attack Segway Rider

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) ― Maybe that's what you get for riding a Segway scooter.

Wild turkeys went after a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory technician recently as he rode his Segway to the office.

They chased him, pecked at him, and NBC 11 reporter Jodi Hernandez witnessed the whole thing. The turkeys have wandered the grounds of the lab for years, but they've apparently gotten very bold lately.

Michael Dupray is a radiation control technician at the lab.

The Segway is a self-balancing scooter.

The turkeys don't appear thrilled with any of that.
