Do turkeys have penises?

Best Answers

Male turkey's or Toms do not actually have a penis like mammals. They have an internal organ within the cloaca. Copulation involves a 'cloacal kiss', with the male on the female's back & twisting his tail under the female's tail and a meeting of the two individual birds organs allows for a sperm sac transfer from male to female. read more

No. Most birds do not have penises, but mate simply by pressing their cloacas together (the cloaca is the single opening through which birds mate, excrete and lay eggs). Some birds which do possess a penis are ostriches, ducks and buffalo weavers. read more

When a tom gets excited, his snood becomes engorged with blood and enlarges, much like a penis, which a turkey doesn’t have. Instead, both male and female turkeys have a cloaca, an outlet into which the intestinal, urinary, and genital tracts open. read more
