In the early fall of 2018, Roy was dumped along a sparsely populated country road outside of Holly, Michigan. A family that was accustomed to taking in cats and dogs that had been abandoned along their road, discovered Roy wandering around their backyard one evening. Unsure how to best care for a rooster, they contacted Barn Sanctuary.
Upon arrival at his forever home, Roy was nervous, and out of fear, he often lashed out at staff and volunteers. The conditions he came from prior to being dumped are unknown, but it was clear that Roy hadn’t had many positive interactions with humans.
After an exam, it was discovered that Roy had pretty much every parasite that a bird could have, so he was immediately put on medications. Thankfully, it did not take long for his condition to improve and he has since made a full recovery.
