Gloria was found walking along the side of the road in eastern Maryland and brought to us by some caring people. She may have escaped a turkey farm or she may have jumped off a transport truck. Whatever happened, we are so happy that she found her way to freedom and safety . She was only 10 weeks old when we she was found. She was most likely being raised for Thanksgiving, as most turkeys are killed around 16 weeks.
Gloria makes the sweetest sounds and her best friend is Marty, our potbelly pig. When she isn’t cuddling in our laps or following us around chirping away, she can found grooming Marty.

Turkeys can fly – Despite their size, wild turkeys are strong fliers. They can fly up to 55 mph over short distances, but domestic turkeys, bred for size, cannot fly.
