Sun the turkey, living in sanctuary at The Gentle Barn California

Sun the turkey, living in sanctuary at The Gentle Barn California

Sun is a longtime resident of our California sanctuary. Sun was rescued from Thanksgiving with her four sisters in 2015. When Sun and her sisters arrived, she was very fearful and nervous. She had seen other turkeys slaughtered right in front of her and seemed to be waiting for us to do the same. We stationed volunteers to sit with her and bring her treats every day, and in a very short time, instead of running away from us, she was running toward us. Sun is now confident and filled with joy. She loves to be held and pet, and she is teaching the world how amazing turkeys truly are, one cuddle at a time! The most sweetest thing about cuddling with Sun is as she closes her eyes, she begins to make a cat like pur. It is the most loving and soothing sound turkeys make. When she’s not cuddling in our laps, she can be found sunning and snuggling with her best friends!
