and his 4,500 Facebook followers. It is unclear when Limpy first
arrived in this town, but he has claimed the town as his own, since
he has no regard for personal property and traffic signals.
Limpy's right leg is doesn't work as it should. However, he maintains his pluck (pun intended). Limpy is known to stop traffic by wandering in the middle of roads during rush hour. Also, he chases vehicles, especially mail trucks. Even when the mail truck is parked he will peck the tires and jump on the roof. I wonder how the mail person handles Limpy's mischievousness?
Limpy's unique character has brought this town together. People have made shirts, magnets, and the local bakery makes Limpy cookies. Proceeds from the shirts and magnets have raised $1,400 for the local food bank. Limpy is such a beloved turkey in this town, and with winter coming resident are not sure if he will stay, but they hope that he will, or if he does leave that he will return once winter has passed. Limpy has brought joy and laughter to the town of Reading, and they hope that he will do the same for those who read this article from The Guardian.
