REHOBOTH, Mass. (AP) - A Massachusetts woman is seeking
donations from fellow pet lovers to help pay for eye surgery for
her turkey named Jerry.

Lyndsey Medeiros and her husband adopted three-year-old Jerry
and another turkey from a Rhode Island farm last week.

But Jerry has cataracts, and the eye problems mean he can't eat
independently or join his female companion, Penelope, in flying.

Medeiros has posted an ad on Craigslist seeking donations for
the surgery. She says the procedure could cost up to $2,600. Her
farm in Rehoboth, Mass., cares for other animals with health
problems.
