Thursday’s Turkey Tale Trot over on Thursdays to hear or read a “Turkey Tale”, a brief tidbit of information about the world of turkeys. Today to start off we have a ‘did you know?’ question. Did you know? “The snood is similar to a wattle, and may be called a wattle when all of a turkey's face, head, and neck markings are described together, but it is a distinct feature. The base of the snood is just above the bill, and the total length can vary from just 1-2 inches to 5-6 inches or longer depending on the bird's gender, health, and mood. A short snood may stand upright and be pointed like a small horn, while a longer snood will dangle down the bird's bill and may flop on one side or the other.” Meet Shaka Zulu one of our handsome male turkeys.
