What is that thing hanging off of a turkey's beak, and why is it there?

Turkeys have a fleshy growth at the base of their beak called a snood; it's long in males, hanging over the beak (apparently some humans will grow these). Turkeys also have a wattle - a fleshy, red or blue, hunk of skin hanging from the neck or throat. There are also red or blue fleshy bumps of tissue over the head and neck called caruncles. Males have a tuft of bristly feathers at their breast called a beard. I imagine it's all for courtship, etc. - a big tom in full display is quit a sight!\n\nCheck out the picture - it's either a tom turkey or an alien - we're not sure yet...

If it's a serious answer you want then it's a pen to put sheep in. It's usually made of wicker hurdles and is of a temporary nature but it could also be a permanent steel structure. If you want a funny answer I can't think of one.

You mean put the feathers back on? If you pluck a bird, you take them off. So to "unpluck" would be to glue them back. Interesting idea. Weird for the bird, but interesting. I had an uncle whose toupee looked a little like that.

I stuff my bird with homemade stuffing.  Did you know it's called stuffing if you stuff it into the bird and dressing when you cook it in a dish.  I didn't know that until someone told me last Thanksgiving.

No, it's not a beak. But a bird's nose isn't a beak either.\n\nDepending on what exactly you mean by 'nose' a flying fox has a muzzle, snout, nares or rhinarium.

It is a protrusion from a fungus, if I remember correctly. It is necessary for feeding saprophytically, that is secreting digestive enzymes into food then absorbing the digested food.

One day,  I was working in my kitchen and the cat was meowing continuously.  I thought that he was hungry for an early meal so I served him his meal on the counter top--out of reach of the dog.  Just as he started to eat, he suddenly paused and looked to the side.  I also looked to the same side in order to see what he was looking at.  To my surprise, I saw SOMETHING floating about a couple feet above the floor.  It didn't have a definite shape but was, maybe, two & 1/2 feet by one foot.  It was a pale gray and see-through like a very thin veil or nylon cloth.  In the blink of an eye, it was gone.  The cat immediately resumed eating but I was in awe!  What it was is beyond me.  Unfortunately,  the cat was my only witness and can't collaborate my story.  Too bad, huh?

This is an idiotic question.  Why should we put a chicken on the dollar bill?  What has it done for us?  I think that Benjamin Franklin's question of whether or not the national symbol should be the turkey instead of the eagle was a better question.  No, we should not put the chicken on the dollar bill, but we should coin a phrase for a stupid yet entertaining question and put your picture next to it in the dictionary... holding a chicken and a dollar bill.
