JOY
Rescued from Thanksgiving, Joy is a joy to be around in our California barnyard. Just shy of her second birthday, Joy is one of our biggest cuddle turkeys and is always chatting. She chirps all day long and also loves to play in our hair while enjoying a sunny afternoon cuddle. Her favorite snacks are grapes and pumpkins!
ROMEO
Romeo was rescued along with his sisters and brothers when they were found running through neighborhoods and busy streets in St. Louis, Missouri. Because we already had a male turkey in our Missouri sanctuary, we brought Romeo home to our Santa Clarita barnyard and he's been loving life in the California sunshine ever since! This seven-year-old stunner loves being called handsome and dances around visitors. When his wife Brave laid an egg, Romeo loved sitting on it to give her a break, and now he's raising his son Stellar to be a gentleman like him.
SORINA
Rescued from Thanksgiving, one-and-a-half-year-old Sorina loves snacking on corn, popcorn, and watermelon, cuddling, finding leaves and flowers, and sloshing around in the mud to cool down her feet. She is very social and always busy exploring and having fun. She also loves having a good dust bath and puffing up her feathers to show off for people.
SMUDGE
Smudge and her sisters were rescued right down the road from us. Now nearly blind, she loves when people hold her in their arms and sing sweet songs to her. She'll even jump right into our laps! Many visitors are inspired by her and she especially bonds with people who visit with similar disabilities. At seven years old, she enjoys resting in the sun and roosting in bed at the end of each day. Her favorite snacks are corn, blueberries, and pumpkin pie!
SPIRIT
Rescued from Thanksgiving, Spirit now loves people around people, especially socializing with guests and falling asleep in our laps while getting cuddles. Her favorite snack is blueberries and loves being fed them. She's a bit of a diva and is always involved in the drama, arguing with the other turkeys and loudly making her opinion heard. Every barnyard needs a diva!
LUKE SKYWALKER
Rescued from a very scary place where he was kept in terrible conditions, Luke Skywalker is now nine years old in sanctuary with us and loves listening to music—he closes his eyes and enjoys it to the depths of his soul. He particularly enjoys the guitar but enjoys piano and violins as well. He rests and listens until the music stops. Besides music, his other great love is snacking on popcorn! He was very scared when he first got here, but now he's the king of the barnyard.
