This Thanksgiving we are so grateful that we get to know turkeys in ways that most people don't. Here are ten awesome things we love about turkeys! 🦃
1. Their gorgeous plumage. Most people think turkeys are just "brown" but their feathers have beautiful patterns, colors, and iridescence!

Romeo update: he had a recheck today. His healing is going slow, slow. With new X-rays and ultrasound, we are monitoring his swollen cheek and ensuring it does not turn into an abscess. He is able to be weaned off of steroids which is good. We will continue antibiotics and pain management. Send 🩷🩷🩷

It is a big week to think about the fate of 46 million turkeys who lose their lives for a meal. Turkeys are absolutely amazing animals who have wonderful smart personalities that most people never stop to learn about. We love our wonderful 8 turkeys that call MMFS home.

We need some healing vibes sent our away for our big guy Romeo. He suffered an injury over the weekend probably a bite or a kick. We found it right away and cleaned/treated the wound. However a couple hours later we noticed swelling starting around the area 🧵

Handsome Smoke! It's hard to imagine now but when he first came in with his family 8 months ago he was terrified of people and would scramble to hide behind his mom. Now he will walk right up to you and politely ask for scritches. 🥰
