Two baby turkeys fell through the grates of a Staten Island storm drain and were rescued by detectives from the NYPD’s Emergency service Unit.

The Staten Island Advance reports that someone called 911 on Sunday night to report cries coming from a storm drain.

But when Detectives John Opman and Joseph Cordova arrived at the scene they realized the wailing wasn’t coming from a human.

It was coming from two wild turkey fledglings. The birds had fallen through the grates of a storm sewer outside Staten Island University Hospital’s Ocean Breeze campus.

The detectives used a net to scoop up one turkey but Cordova had to go down with a flashlight to get the other one.

A hospital worker took the turkeys to an animal shelter.
