Read Ora's Story (In Memoriam)
Ora and her sisters were rescued right down the road from us in Missouri. One of our neighbors called us after 11 turkeys showed up at their house and were hanging out with them in their yard. As soon as the turkeys saw our trailer, they hopped right in as if they had been waiting for us the entire time! They had proven to be some of the friendliest turkeys we had ever met. Ora loved her sisters deeply and was especially fond of our late male turkey, Peyton Manning. When he was recovering from surgery, Ora patiently sat with him in the barnyard only wanting to be next to him. Ora was so gentle and sweet. She was known to quietly sneak up and sit next to you, enjoying the company. Every now and then Ora would hop in someone’s lap or ask to be held. Her tender heart and kind spirit brought peaceful energy to the barnyard. Ora passed away at the age of 4. We are so grateful to have known and loved her. We will never stop honoring her memory.
