Quincy
|
Quincy is our loyal protector and guardian of the sanctuary. The roosters might think they are the big guys in the yard, with their loud crowing, but those in the know, know Quincy is the toughest bird on the block. Quincy came to Life With Pigs when he was a tiny little poult. It didn't take long for us to realize he was something special. As the only boy, Quincy protects his girls, and makes sure to keep an eye on every new person who comes into the yard. But don't let that tough face fool you. Quincy is a lover, not a fighter!

Tia
|
Tia arrived at Life With Pigs with Quincy, Harriet, and Freddie back in 2018. She was one of the first rescues after we opened. And she was also one of the first to try and escape. Many days Tia could be found fly/jumping over the fence and going off to explore the neighborhood. Fortunately, she has settled in and no longer attempts to go much farther than a little bit past the gate. She can be quite the talkative little turkey. Tia makes her presence known around the yard as she peeps every time an invader flies overhead. In fact, she is probably responsible for setting off the alarm that alerts all the birds in the yard that someone is flying overhead and to take cover. Usually it is just a bluejay or a crow, but should a hawk or eagle ever come our way she will be quick to warn her entire animal family.
Tia is not a fan of roosters - and has a few that she regularly starts squabbles with - but when it comes to being a mom, Tia is a sweet as can be! She is the most tolerant, sweet, and thoughtful mom around. Become Tia's Sponsor:

Sherman
|
Sherman is a curious and spirited young turkey who came to us as a young poult and immediately stole our hearts. With his bold struts, playful chirps, and hilarious lack of personal space boundaries, Sherman keeps everyone smiling. Whether he’s practicing his first gobble or trying to perch on a human shoulder (or head), Sherman is growing up with all the love and safety every baby turkey deserves.

Louisa
|
Louisa was rescued with two siblings from Tractor Supply, where they were the last three poults of their kind for sale.
Louisa is a social butterfly who gets along with everyone. She loves to perch up high and hop/fly to the highest point she can find (even when it’s not such a good idea!) She can’t resist a cuddle-nap and loves to snuggle in close to a favorite human or turkey sibling. She also loves nibbling on grass and exploring the world around her. |
Charlie
|
Charlie is an easy-going guy who was rescued alongside Louisa and Ben from Tractor Supply, where they were the last three poults of their kind being sold.
Charlie is adventurous and inquisitive, and loves shiny things. He can’t resist a good cuddle-nap (whether under a human arm or next to his sibling) and falls asleep in such situations almost against his will. Charlie is known for being a bit of a tail-pecker, but is so good natured that he is easily forgiven by his victims. |
