A pet turkey has become a star in a Wimmera town.

Bonza the turkey has captivated audiences in his home town of Dimboola.

His owner, Jamie Uoy, says he didn’t set out to get a pet turkey, but he’s glad he did.

“He’s beautiful. He’s a good mate,” he told Stephen Quartermain and Tony Leonard, filling in for Ross and Russel.

“He’s very smart. I’ve taught him to jump up onto a haystack on the count of three.”
