<P> In anatomical terms , the snood is an erectile , fleshy protuberance on the forehead of turkeys . Most of the time when the turkey is in a relaxed state , the snood is pale and 2 - 3 cm long . However , when the male begins strutting ( the courtship display ) , the snood engorges with blood , becomes redder and elongates several centimetres , hanging well below the beak ( see image ) . </P>
