I’m an artist and technologist combining tech, functional, and educational art with creative building blocks designed to inspire and connect. www.stephaniehayden.com
I'm introducing my Adopt Don't Chop functional art series and the inaugural guest, a wild turkey. I know folks have complex relationships with food, holidays, and traditions. I'm interested in partnering with turkey rescues and their supporters.

Rabbits are really funny from what my friends have told me. They show me pics of mini houses built into staircases and them flying through the air with zoomies during movie nights. This sounds like a better option. They're in my Adopt Don't Chop series:

Ostriches are the largest birds in the world, can run 45 mph, and kick hard enough to kill a lion. Not that you want to see that up close, but I think they should get to be fiery and run wild vs. being what's for dinner.

I remember these two guys I worked with at a tiny village newspaper had guard geese at their house in the mountains. It didn't matter how many times I came by they chased me away every time. Love it. Let them be the beasts they're meant to be.
