When a turkey spreads its wings, it's called strutting.
It is called wilfing.
it means that they are cold, and they fluff up for warmth. i have a fat quaker bird :]
Mature turkeys have approximately 3,500 feathers.

The turkey is on the 3rd box on the bottom row with all of the birds in it. It is behind the cardinal. You can see the feathers of the turkey sticking up above the cardinal's tail. He's hidden in the back. :)
A bird might ruffle its feathers to remove something on the feathers, to put feathers back in place where they belong after preening or after being handled, etc. Ruffling is just a way of putting feathers back where they belong.
When the penguin goes into the water its outer feathers behave like fish scales and keep out the water away from the downy layer. To keep warm the penguin fluffs up its feathers so the air trapped among them will stay warm. To learn more about a penguin's feathers see related link..
Feathers
If it is the feathers around the head it is called flaring(this means he wants to attack). If the whole chicken puffs up or drags one or both wing on the ground it is called strutting(this means he wants to mate, but be warned it can also mean he wants to attack).
turkey
Uh, no he isn't. Many times you see him hitting thunderbolts with his right put and then completley fluffs up what he does with his left!!Prat.
if you went up to one and called it anything other than just "turkey" it think itd be strange so yes: "turkey" My uncle owned a turkey farm in the 1950s and he told us that a neutered male turkey is referred to as a hokie.
