Our Lower Plenty Resi’ rehab’ have a new furry visitor called Button, the baby turkey (which is called a 'poult'). Button lives with one of our staff and comes to play at the Children's Centre each day. Unfortunately, she was the only one that hatched from the incubator, so she keeps the company of humans. She enjoys morning snuggles with the adult residents in the recreation room and playing outside with the children in the sunshine during the day. She is currently 3 weeks old.
