snood
n.— «“(Look at) the red coloration on the male turkey‘s head,” explains the biologist. “He has an appendage of skin that sticks out right between it’s eyes. When it’s mating, that enlarges and droops down over its bill, and that’s called a snood.”» —“Turkeys: something to celebrate…and to gobble” WBIR-TV (Knoxville, Tennessee) Nov. 22, 2006.
