What is the red thing under a turkey's neck called and used for?
The red thing you are referring to is called a wattle. It is not clear why turkeys have them but it is likely that they are used to attract the opposite sex and/or to scare away other male turkeys. When the male turkey gets excited the red wattle enlarges in size perhaps making it look more attractive to the opposite sex and scary to the same sex. This is similar to an erect cock on a human male, as the increase in blood flow helps attract mates while scaring off other males. Not much information about turkey wattles can be found. Hope this helps. The wattle helps to cool the turkey. The bright red area has blood flow close to the surface and as it is not covered by feathers it gets cooler faster. Turkeys do not sweat.
