Synopsis: On a crisp November day, about two weeks before Thanksgiving, two majestic white turkeys unexpectedly appeared at our home, nestled in a residential neighbourhood by a serene lake. Standing at the top of our driveway, they looked bewildered yet curiously approachable. We soon realised their remarkable friendliness, as they attempted to wander into our garage. We provided them with nuts and berries, and for the night, offered them shelter in our greenhouse. Affectionately, we named them Thelma and Louise. Over the next few months, these charming birds became a part of our lives, until we found them a loving, permanent home at a rescue ranch. Their origins remained a mystery, as there were no turkey farms in proximity, leaving us to wonder about the incredible journey they must have embarked on to find us. This heartwarming tale, inspired by true events, follows the adventures of Thelma and Louise, two turkeys who escape from a farm before Thanksgiving. Their journey is filled with wonder, bravery, and the search for a place to call home.
