🦃 A Very Important Message From Roger the Turkey
(Proud Flock Leader, Professional Strutter, Feathered King of Wales)

Hello Humans!
I’m stepping away from my busy schedule of sunbathing, flirting with my eight girlfriends, and giving the sheep judgmental side-eye… because I have an important festive announcement.
🎄 Please… save my cousins this Christmas.
Look, I know Christmas is magical for you — lights, carols, presents, questionable jumper choices. But for turkeys?
Christmas is basically our equivalent of a horror film.
I’m one of the lucky ones. I live a free-range, stress-free, drama-only-when-I-create-it kind of life here at Log Cabin Holidays in Wales. I get sunshine, fields, snacks, cuddles (when I’m in the mood), and a guaranteed forever home. Nobody here looks at me like I’m potential sandwich material.
But not all turkeys have the life of luxury that I do.
Christmas Lunch?? — and I say this with love — most of you humans don’t even enjoy your Christmas turkey! I’ve heard the conversations. I’ve seen the plates. Half of you complain it’s “a bit dry,” the rest drown it in gravy like you’re trying to hide the evidence. Some of you even shove it to the side and go straight for the roasties! So let me get this straight… a turkey gives up his entire life so you can eat three obligatory slices, sigh dramatically, and then forget about us entirely by Boxing Day?
What a waste of a perfectly magnificent bird! Honestly, your taste buds deserve better — and so do we. Let us live, Eat all that delicious roast veg.... jand save more room for those roast potatos.... Potatoes are delicious and, frankly, far less emotional than we are.
🦃 Why Turkeys Are Too Amazing to End Up on a Plate
Allow me to brag for a moment — on behalf of all turkeys everywhere.
We’re smart. Some of us can even recognise over 20 human faces.
We’re social, affectionate, and dramatic in the best way.
We sunbathe.
We gossip.
We hold grudges.
And honestly? We’re hilarious. Have you ever seen a turkey run? It’s like a feathery wind-up toy powered by pure chaos.
We’re basically emotional support dinosaurs.Why would you eat that?
🌿 My Life at Log Cabin Holidays in Wales
I wake up each morning to fresh air, wander wherever I please, and spend the afternoons basking in Welsh sunshine like the celebrity I am.
This is what turkey life should look like.This is what it could look like — with a little help from humans like you.
