On Thanksgiving, remembering the turkey of El Jardín del Paraíso

There is a bit of a mystery surrounding the demise of the turkey who lived in El Jardín del Paraíso on East Fourth Street between Avenue C and Avenue D ... as previously noted, flyers about the turkey's death (from "neglect") were placed by someone in adjacent residential buildings ...


EVG reader Emily Iason took these photos on Oct. 30 ... the day after Superstorm Sandy... looking well...



Meanwhile, other feathered residents are OK there... per these photos by Bobby Williams last week...

    I'm so glad you added those photos by Emily Iason. The turkey did not die of neglect. He/she was looking beautiful and healthy. I heard it could have been poison - maybe rat poison. It is a mystery and the turkey is missed.

    Perhaps it was a case of 'fowl' play?

    i really miss not having more hens & chickens in the neighborhood. used to be so common. years ago, there was a chicken coop next to my sister's building. i could not believe when it was replaced by a 6 story luxry building! WOW. what a trip. i'll tell you, when we enter the apocalypse and you have to grow your own food, those chicken coops will go way up in stock!
