Rose the wild turkey lived in the area of Christie Pits park and another park across busy Bloor St W. She was known to wander the laneways and back gardens. I have to admit going out to look for her but never managed a sighting. This was back in 2018 to 2019 and now this sign has been placed on a post by Christie Pits to commemorate her. There is a fellow who has these signs made about local points of interest & history and then installs them himself.Taking part in Signs2. Click HERE to see more signs from around the world.

How fine to commemorate local wildlife. I hope Rose lived a good life in the parks. Wild turkeys are particularly skittish around people, at least they are around here.
She would have been fun to see wandering the neighborhood. It's good to see this little memorial.
...Rose must have been a special turkey. There are plenty of turkeys out there, but most don't have names!
It is sad she went missing! Take care, have a wonderful day!
Rose lives forever. What a nice plaque to install for Rosie and the time she spent in the neighborhood.
I approve of the local initiative!
It's interesting how certain animals can leave a lasting impact on us, weaving their presence into the fabric of local history. I can imagine the excitement and camaraderie among the residents, exchanging stories of their encounters with Rose.
That's a nice thing for someone to do. It would be nice if the local authority would at least endorse the placing of the signs.
There used to be a gaggle of wild turkeys near where I once lived. Fun to watch. :-)
That must have been a memorable sighting in the park if it made such an impression.
What a sweet story and sign!
That is a lovely sign!
I love stuff like this. Red Deer, Alberta has a statue and sign dedicated to Francis the Pig, who escaped the butcher and eluded capture in the city for several months.
That is neat!
