Gerry was surrendered to us by the Comox SPCA in Septemeber of 2017 as a result of a cruelty seizure.  What makes Gerry unique is that s/he appears to have the traits of both a male turkey, as well as a female one.  At this time both we, as well as our vet are baffled by Gerry and not entirely sure what sex s/he or "they" are.

Recntly though, Gerry became a mother to her chick Terri, after cleverly hiding a nest and laying eggs.  Her other chick, Pheonix, almost died after complications hatching, and has never been accepted by Gerry but still lives a full and happy life here at the sanctuary.
