SIDNEY
Blue eyed beauty
Turkeys have incredible eyesight, with a range of 270 degrees and full colour - they can see better than humans.
BRUCE
Bearded boy
Turkeys have beards. A modified feather grows from the chest of males. The longer the beard the tougher the tom - Bruce is boss!
KEVIN
Talkative and inquisitive
Turkeys have at least 20 distinct vocalisations including chirrups, purrs and of course, gobbling!
GARY
Colourful character
Watch a turkey closely and you'll see them change colours! The necks of turkeys change based on their frame of mind.
HEAVENLY HIRAANI TIGER PIGGY
Smart cookie
Pigs are curious and insightful animals who are widely accepted as being smarter than young children of at least 3 years of age, dogs, and even some primates.
PABLO PIGCASSO
Social butterfly
Pigs are very social animals. They snuggle close to one another, and prefer to sleep nose-to-nose. Much like humans, they also dream.
ALBERT SWEINSTEIN
Cool character
Pigs don't sweat! Instead to cool down they wallow in mud, which also keeps them safe from insects and the sun.
PATSY SWINE
Family focussed
Piglets can recognise their own names at 2 weeks old, and Sows have even been known to 'sing' to their young whilst nursing.
WILLOW
Chatty character
Pigs communicate constantly with each other, and like turkeys have more than 20 different vocalisations.
PORTIA
Happy soul
Just like the dogs we share our homes with, pigs wag their tails when they are happy and content.
KEITH
Musical Man
Turkeys love music, and have been known to gobble along happily with songs.
ALFIE
Complex character
Turkey language is complex. Mothers use a special whistle when babies get lost that say “Here I am, where are you?”
TRYNN
Loves a hug
Turkeys love affection and many welcome being patted, scratched and hugged, often reacting with a purr of contentment.
THE FLOCK
Adopt the whole flock - $150

DR SEUSS
Supersonic
A pig's squeal can be as loud as 115 decibels – that’s 3 decibels higher than the sound of a supersonic airliner.
LUCY
Fast as a flash
Pigs are sprinters — they can run really fast for a short distance. A domestic pig can run at speeds of around 17 km/h, and wild pigs can run even faster.
POLLY PIGGINS
Clean customer
Pigs are naturally very clean animals, choosing a bathroom well away from where they sleep and eat, if given the chance.
PRINCE HOGERS NELSWINE
Super Scented
Pigs snouts are approximately 2,000 times more sensitive to smell than the human nose
CHARLOTTE
Playful piglet
Pigs, especially as piglets, love to play. Spinning, running and rolling with their friends brings them great joy.
