Free Birds‘ Reggie and Jake (voiced by Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson) have been named the spokesturkeys for Farm Sanctuary’s 2013 Adopt a Turkey Project. The annual event helps to raise funds for the non-profit organization which is the largest farm animal rescue and protection organization in the US.
Did you know turkeys are actually smart, social, and form attachments to other turkeys? Farm Sanctuary says they do, and for just a $30 donation, you can sponsor one of the turkeys housed at either their New York or California shelter. Each donor will receive an adoption certificate along with a color photo and facts about the chosen turkey.
“After more than 25 years of caring for rescued turkeys through our Adopt a Turkey Project, we’re delighted to team up with Reggie and Jake this Thanksgiving,” stated Farm Sanctuary President and Co-founder Gene Baur. “We hope their amazing adventure will inspire even more people to adopt a turkey as part of their holiday tradition.”
Among the 2013 adoptable turkeys are:
– Tulip, who lives at Farm Sanctuary’s New York Shelter; she is sensitive and kind to her flockmates and loves grapes and cranberries,
– Minerva, an attention-loving turkey with a passion for sunflower seeds, who resides at the rescue group’s shelter near Los Angeles, and
– Tibbott, an outgoing guy who resides at Farm Sanctuary’s Northern California Shelter; he loves to meet new people and snack on lettuce and grapes.
