Rosalva was picking up supplies as a hurricane was headed for Cozumel, Mexico. She noticed a turkey chick for sale, and worried that he could be hurt during the hurricane, so she bought him. Uri was supposed to be someone's dinner eventually, but Rose raised him as a pet. As a pampered pet, Uri's personality and preferences came out. The skin on his head even changes color to show his mood! Since he was bred to be eaten, and has lived far longer than planned, Uri has a few physical difficulties, but Rose is always there to make his life better. You can follow Uri at his Instagram page.
