A turkey has been spared ending up on the dinner plate this Christmas - as he's too ugly.

Wilbur is underweight, has no tail feathers, a misshapen body and walks with a limp.
He's the only bird remaining at the pick-your-own turkey farm in Totnes, Devon.
Farm owner Peter Hayford told The Sun: "This was his first Christmas and it was meant to be his last. But no one chose him because of his appearance.
"Everyone said Wilbur looked too sad and bedraggled and the others were upbeat.
"He's also a little underweight and is a bit misshapen, so maybe that's why."
Wilbur is in for a treat this Christmas as Peter says him and his wife Jackie plan to keep him as a pet.
Peter added: "One thing's for sure - he's the luckiest little bird in the world.
"Wilbur will become one of the family. He might be an ugly old thing, but we think he's lovely."
