Meet Reggie

Reggie was the sole survivor of a weasel attack that tragically took his companions. After this devastating ordeal, his previous home sought to rehome him, and we welcomed Reggie to Ahimsa Safe Haven with open arms.

Initially, Reggie was understandably traumatized, often sitting alone and avoiding interaction. His long, curling toenails showed signs of past neglect, and he was visibly fearful of his new surroundings. The loss he endured and the transition to an unfamiliar environment was a lot for him to process.

With patience and gentle care, Reggie began to heal. He has since found comfort and joy in the company of Spot and Coretta, two fellow turkey residents. The trio is inseparable, often seen foraging together, enjoying the sunshine, and napping in the shade. Spot and Coretta have been a source of companionship and reassurance for Reggie, helping him feel truly at home.

Over time, Reggie has grown more confident and relaxed. He no longer feels the need to constantly display his feathers—a sign that he feels safe and secure in his sanctuary. His transformation from a fearful and solitary bird to a content and social turkey is a beautiful reminder of the power of compassion and community.
