Our turkey, William, who is not for eating, is very depressed. He only came because his "companions" - a brahma trio came here and he had no company. He now doesnt like the brahmas, in fact he does not seem to like anyone very much. From when he came as an outgoing, funny bird with a tendency to explore the area and to sit outside the fox den to rest, he has become almost agorophobic, I have to carry him out in the morning (no easy task). He eats well, and occasionally still pushes his football around, but is very miserable. Have tried to find him some company even offered him to a lady who had only a female turkey, so far no luck.
Reading this it does sound just a little touched, however I would like him to have quality of life. Any (kind) suggestions much appreciated. Thanks HM
ps: Its not that Im against eating birds, we rear and eat out own chickens, I dont like turkey meat!
