Tutu was born in an animal factory, an industrial farm where she was treated like a number among 46 million turkeys facing Thanksgiving slaughter. An art student saved Tutu to tell her story, but when the school wouldn’t allow a turkey, Tutu found her happily ever after at Farm Sanctuary.

Tutu has a lot to say and loves to listen, too. She’s like that friend who’s there to chat, remind you of the joy in life, or be a shoulder you can cry on. When this social butterfly’s around, whether she’s in the pool or noshing on snacks, everyone’s having fun.

Julie was going to be killed for Thanksgiving at four months old, but after her flockmates died, the lonely bird followed her guardian everywhere. Grieving Julie’s search for a friend inspired a change of heart that saved her life.

Julie is anxious about the world, but she’s curious and kind, too. She’s that friend who’s in your inner circle for life once she warms up. She gets excited to see her caregivers and even likes to play these days. Julie’s safe place is a friendship that feels like home, and she loves peaceful days with her buddy, Roberto.

Galadriel once lived at another sanctuary, where safety and comfort were promised but not given. She was denied the proper shelter, food, and veterinary care she needed. But at Farm Sanctuary, a promise is forever, and this enthusiastic gal is not just living but thriving, as she inspires us daily with her zest for life.

Galadriel is an outdoorsy explorer. She’s that friend who makes the perfect travel companion, always up for going to fun places and learning new things. Galadriel dreams big and sees hope for adventure in every moment.

Brunnhilde was born on a farm where animals were raised as friends. When their guardian died, his wife couldn’t care for the animals alone, but she knew she could keep the promise that they’d always be safe. We helped find homes for everyone, including Brunnhilde and her turkey companions, who came to Farm Sanctuary.

Brunnhilde is lovingly known as an “assistant” around the sanctuary. She’s that friend who’s always willing to lend a helping hand. She likes to keep herself busy by following her caregivers during our daily tasks and, most importantly, making sure snacks are offered on time.

Griffin ran for his life when he was set loose in a Los Angeles shopping center and hunted for Thanksgiving. Luckily, a compassionate family saved this kindhearted bird and brought him to sanctuary rather than slaughter.

Griffin wears his heart on his sleeve. He’s that friend who has you believing in the power of love—even love at first sight. Admittedly, Griffin likes to stare at himself in the mirror, but from day one, he’s really only had eyes for Serena and Thelma. Griffin walks past the ladies of the flock, showing off and lighting up when they notice.
