Zuzu “The Wild Child”
Zuzu didn’t always have the care she needed and deserved. She was rescued from a heartbreaking hoarding case and taken in by a sanctuary. But this social bird, who thrives with friendship and fun, needed a new family when a predator attack killed her friend. So, we welcomed her to our New York flock, where this spicy gal fit right in. Zuzu is always on an adventure, reveling in the freedom of sanctuary as she runs zoomies around her friends. In the winter, she becomes a snow angel, overjoyed to dash and play through her own winter wonderland.

About Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt a Turkey Project
Each year, the United States slaughters 46 million turkeys for Thanksgiving. Most are kept in severe crowding and confinement on factory farms—and, like all farmed birds, they are excluded from even the most basic legal protections.
These sentient individuals deserve kindness. That’s why, since 1986, Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt a Turkey Project has encouraged people to symbolically adopt a turkey at Thanksgiving instead of eating one. By highlighting turkeys' unique personalities and intelligence while also revealing the abuse they face in an exploitative food system, this beloved campaign has reached millions of people with a message of compassion.
With a contribution today, you can symbolically adopt a rescued turkey living at Farm Sanctuary—or maximize your impact by sponsoring this year’s featured flock of five.
Adopt for yourself or choose a gift adoption, and we’ll email a certificate to the recipient of your choosing to show them how much you care.
