Let's Talk Turkey


	Let's Talk Turkey Rio Grande Turkey Meleagris gallopavo intermedia The head and neck of turkeys have no feathers; rather it is covered with red, fleshy skin. A soft floppy growth on the front of the head, which dangles downward over the beak, is called the snood or dewbill. The turkey also has a pouchlike area at the front of his throat which is called a wattle. The head, neck, snood and wattle are all reddish colored until the male turkey begins to do his "strut" or mating dance at which time the entire area turns brilliantly bright red. Jim Baines

Hi Jim, excellent details and colours with this terrific close-up. Great info but a turkey is not real attractive. LOL. Have a good day.
