The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which has revealed dozens of unknowns about space with its work to date, cannot overcome a very simple problem. So much so that a headquarters of the corporation in Silicon Valley was invaded by a group of turkeys. Moreover, these turkeys have upset the routine in the NASA office.
NASA’s Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley has actually been home to turkeys for years. According to the statements made by NASA spokesperson Rachel Hoover, between 5 and 8 turkeys were traveling to and from the center in 2019. However, by 2020, the number of turkeys visiting the facility had increased to 25. The spokesperson said that they had no idea where the turkeys came from and that they thought they might have reproduced over time.
There is chaos at the Ames Research Center
According to the information obtained, the turkeys that have invaded NASA’s headquarters in Silicon Valley have caused chaos in the facility. It is stated that these animals pollute everywhere, prevent the passage of vehicles, and peck the facility windows with the vehicles. Even at the airport in the area where the facility is located, there were difficulties in flights due to the opposition of turkeys. NASA has been in contact with the US Department of Agriculture about the need to collect the turkeys as soon as possible.
According to a report in Mercury News, NASA and the US Department of Agriculture started to set up traps around the facility to catch turkeys. Trapping the animals with cornmeal, the authorities take the turkeys they can collect to an eco-protection zone in the region. It has been reported that 18 turkeys have been caught so far, and efforts are underway to catch other turkeys.
