Terri is a turkey, and was quite the surprise. We work hard to find all the eggs the birds here at the sanctuary lay, as breeding animals is something we want to avoid, but Gerry (Terri's mother) is a hermaphroditic Turkey who was always believed to be male in that they wouldn't lay eggs or have chicks. However, Gerry proved that belief wrong by hiding a nest, laying eggs, and bringing both Terri and Pheonix into the world.
Terri has grown quickly, and her and her mother are practically inseperable. Little Pheonix, her brother, had to be hand raised after Gerry rejected him following complications when he hatched, but we hope that some day as they grow older, Terri and her sibling Pheonix will become friends and the three will spend time together as a family.
