Two Turkeys Homed

Its not everyday that we manage to home turkeys. Well today one lucky boy (stag) and a girl (hen) turkey were homed. They have gone to a home where many of our rescue animals have gone over the years, we know that they will be loved and cared for.

Turkeys are funny creatures and not always loved by all, at Brinsley we love all animals including turkeys. They do look a little prehistoric, the males often display by filling their snood and wattles with blood to bloat them. They walk around with their chests puffed up and they scrape their wings on the ground, whilst making a “boom” like sound. It might be strange to us, by the hen turkeys love the attention.

  • We’ve been on TV – BBC1 – Inside Out

    When we rescued Bertie the so called Micro-Pig, the BBC came with us to highlight the growing problem of breeders miss selling micro-pigs. Breeders sell them as ‘not growing larger than a Cocker Spaniel’, the reality is that they grow large and when kept un-castrated and on their own, can become extremely destructive.
