Hide AdIt is unknown whether the turkey - which has now found her “forever home” in a bird sanctuary - had escaped or whether she was abandoned, a spokesman for charity said.
The man who found the turkey asked his neighbours if they knew who the bird belonged to before he contacted the RSPCA, but no one claimed her.
