Function. The snood functions in both intersexual and intrasexual selection. Captive female wild turkeys prefer to mate with long-snooded males, and during dyadic interactions, male turkeys defer to males with relatively longer snoods.
The fleshy bumps on the turkey’s head and neck are called caruncles. Both male and female wild turkeys have both wattles and snoods, but they are much more prominent and noticeable in males, called toms. The wattle can be a little like a mood ring, too.
Snood. This is the fleshy appendage that extends over the beak. While it looks like a pint-sized version of an elephant’s trunk, the purpose of the snood is not to grab food, it’s to grab the attention of a mate.
Why have a wattle? Wattles are an adaptive feature that come in handy in several ways. On a hot day, with the sun bearing down, the bare skin of neck and wattle helps release excess heat. Birds don’t sweat—they can’t sweat—so the turkey is otherwise trapped in its dense, dark feathers.
The purpose of the wattles is unclear. The female bellbirds are smaller and less striking in appearance, being overall olive with yellowish streaking below, pure yellow vent and no wattles. The females blend into the surroundings of the forest, which helps them hide its nests from predators.
Enlargement of the female comb is apparently the outcome of human selection of birds for breeding over countless generations. Breeding the best egg producers resulted in the more showy headdress. Roosters noticed.
Roosters are funny-looking creatures. They have a red bit that sticks out from the top of their heads—the comb—and another that dangles beneath their chin—the wattle.
