Wilton school officials seek to ID students who guided wild turkey into field house

A wild turkey took up residence in the Wilton High School Field House for a few days and now school officials are looking to identify the two student caught on surveillance video guiding the bird inside. 

School officials tried to lure the animal from the rafters, but couldn't and called in Wilton Police and animal control.  The Connecticut Post reports that the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection also failed using lettuce and watermelon to attract the bird outside. 

After two days, the school's custodians called wildlife control company Bats Be Gone.  They caught the wild turkey using a net and released it into the woods behind the school. 

Gym classes were rescheduled or moved outside.  Most of the field house has been sanitized, but a lift is needed to get to the rafters.
