Gobbles is an adult domestic turkey who was found with two other turkeys, Gertrude and Eliot, in a dirty, cramped cage behind a restaurant in D.C. The owner of the restaurant said he was "fattening them up" for Thanksgiving, but luckily for our turkey friends it is illegal to keep livestock in the city. Now Gobbles, Gertrude and Eliot can walk around in soft grass, sunning and eating bugs, and will be able to live out their lives at the Sanctuary. Gobbles likes to strut around with his feathers up, displaying and gobbling to the other turkeys. |
