Turkeys Can Blush

When turkeys are scared or excited—like when the males see a female they’re interested in—the pale skin on their head and neck turns bright red, blue, or white. The flap of skin over their beaks, called a snood, also reddens. By the way, this is why the president pardons a turkey every Thanksgiving.
 
That's fascinating! 😮 I thought that only happens in television shows, haha. 🦃 It would be amazing to see that in person. 👀
