Deer wreaks havoc in nursing home after crashing through confusing room of mirrors

A deer wreaked havoc in a nursing home when it crashed through the window of a rehab centre.

Footage showed the frightened animal smashing through the window of Wells Nursing Home in Johnstown, New York, this week.

The large buck appeared to be terrified by the mirrors inside the room as it crashed around inside.

Thankfully it finally managed to smash its way back through the window and escaped outside, says the New York Post.

Bill Betts, the facility’s director of rehab, said: “You can laugh about it now but at the time thank goodness there was no one in the department, no residents, no patients.

“I was in another office and I thought to myself, ‘I need to get my cellphone’, because no one’s going to believe me that there was a six-point buck jumping around in there.”

Last month airport security staff at Charlotte Douglas International Airport were shocked when an American bald eagle called Clark made his way through security.

The large bird was taken through the North Carolina airport accompanied by his handler.

The bird left fellow travellers stunned as he was rolled through the metal detector when he even stretched out his sizeable wings.

Bald eagles can grow up to 3ft in height and have a wingspan of 6.5ft – which is longer than most men are tall.

In order to return home, Clark flew back to the World Bird Sanctuary in Missouri – and so had to have his bags and pockets checked like everyone else.

“I’m sure the team at CLT Airport Checkpoint A did a double take when they saw a real one earlier this week,” TSA’s Southeast Region noted.

“Our special guest was Clark the Eagle with the World Bird Sanctuary, who decided to give his wings a break and fly commercial.

“His airline notified us and we screened him and his handler. Clark is trained to spread his wings, and even showed off a bit during screening.”

Clark hatched in 2002 as part of a breeding programme, but was born with deformities to his feet that meant he was unable to be released into the wild as was originally intended.
