Wearing a crown, the “beauty” in the bird

Bird crests can be divided into feather crests, horned crests, and flesh crests. A crest is a crown formed by feathers, and a horned crown is a crown formed by bone. The texture of the fleshy crown is the same as that of ordinary skin.

Meat crests are mostly found on the heads of chickens and turkeys.
