DUDES WITH THE SNOODS - Male turkeys in excited state with snoods engorged. The snood is an erectile, fleshy protuberance on the forehead of turkeys. Most of the time when the turkey is in a relaxed mode, the snood is pale and 2-3 cm long. However, when the male begins strutting courtship display, the snood engorges with blood and becomes redder and elongates several centimeters, hanging well below the beak.
