Turkey as a pet

Turkeys are usually part of a homestead or farm. However, they can be kept exclusively as pets as well. These birds are intelligent and social and often build a bond with their owners. 

Please notice that turkeys are big birds and need a lot of space. It’s best to house a turkey in a large shed or small barn.

How to choose a name for a pet turkey

When you’re looking for a name for your new pet turkey, there are a few things to keep in mind. 

First, consider the personality of your turkey. Is it playful and outgoing? Or more subdued and reserved? This can help you narrow down your choices.

Next, think about what kind of name you want. Do you want something traditional, like Gobbles? Or something unique, like Tilda? There are no wrong answers here, so go with whatever feels right.

Finally, don’t forget to have fun with it! Naming a pet is an opportunity to be creative, so have fun and come up with something that makes you smile.

Pardoned turkey names

When George H. W. Bush was the president of the United States, it became a tradition for a president to “pardon” a turkey before Thanksgiving.

You might argue why only one turkey is pardoned, though. Why not pardon them all?

As a vegetarian, I’m not a fan of celebrations that involve eating animals. You could just as well eat vegan “turkey” made of seitan and you wouldn’t even notice a difference.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I can’t resist an opportunity to speak for animals! Anyway, here are the names of the pardoned Thanksgiving turkeys:

Choosing a name for your pet is one of the first steps in your journey together. I hope this blog post has inspired you to name your pet turkey.
