DUDE WITH A SNOOD TUDE -  A young male turkey with  droopy snood. A turkey's snood - the fleshy, extendable appendage on its forehead - is made of highly vascular erectile tissue. While it famously elongates during courtship displays, its size  is actively controlled by blood flow and muscular contraction driven by several non-sexual factors.  Maybe he is just happy to see me.
