I'll let you into a secret, Will had to explain to me that the man was blind and that's why the turkeys were tricking him by saying 'Mooo'.  See more thanksgiving turkey pictures.

However, from my Biology days I remembered that those red protuberances on the male Turkeys' beaks are called snoods or wattles.

Amos, a hardworking turkey farmer was experimenting with breeding turkey which would fetch more money.  Market research indicated that the turkey legs fetched the most money.  After countless fruitless generations of turkeys, the Amos finally cracked the genetic code, and created a batch of four legged turkeys.  Just before Thanksgiving Amos shared his success with his family.  'I finally did it! I bred a turkey that has four legs!' Said Amos.

What does it taste like asked Aunty Mary

'I don't know yet, 'said Amos, 'I haven't caught one yet'

How were Turkeys so Named? How were turkeys so named?

It may have come from the noise a wild turkey makes when it become frightened: it sounds like 'turk - turk - turk.'

The original inhabitants of America called the bird a 'firkee.'

Christopher Columbus, the explorer, took some of the wild turkeys of North America back to Europe. People enjoyed eating the meat. It is possible that traders along the Mediterranean casts , known as Turkes, may have brought some of these birds hence they came to be called 'turkey birds.'

In Spain, the turkey was often referred to as Indian fowl, an allusion which is repeated in the French 'dindon' formed with d'Inde which means 'from India'.

Some say Columbus thought the turkey was part of the peacock family. So he decided to call them 'tuka' which is the word for peacock in Tamil, a language spoken in southern India and Sri Lanka.

The wishbone is a tradition of Thanksgiving. Allow the wishbone to dry. Then, two people grasp each end of the wishbone. After making a silent wish, they pull it away. Whoever gets the joint portion, gets their wish. This is the same at Christmas in the UK.
