Turkey

Brett

Rescue-versary: December 31, 2023

Abandoned in a canyon near Nephi, a place often used for target practice, in the middle of winter. A compassionate individual spotted and took him in.

Personality: Took on the role of protector for the other turkeys; loves strutting around showing off his presence.
