Rhuby: a snood is indeed, something worn on the head---- sometimes a little net, sometimes a band...

But among poultry people, particularly the turkeys in the profession, the snood is the red fleshy outgrowth that hangs from the top beak downward, and, in some species, is quite long. The wattle is the fleshy outgrowth that hangs down from the lower beak.
