Nobody is stating the obvious, but I'm certain that the head was once attached to a turkey vulture, before it was placed on the mounted turkey.

That thing looks like a cross between one of GobblerD's decoys and a turkey buzzard, that was picked off of the side of the road as roadkill..Yikes!! :turkey2:

That would make a great Thanksgiving table centerpiece!  It would likely keep everyone from feeling so full at the end of the meal as well. :o

I hope you took out insurance on it.  I'd hate for it to get damaged during shipment and not be insured.  Thats one of those early evolution turkey birds.  Killed before they were able to fully walk or fly.  Quite rare!

I think the taxidermist was going for the crippled look.
I believe that may also be one of the now extinct "dusty buzzard" phase subspecies

"The taxidermy has excellent color just as it did the day it was shot."

The taxidermy has been shot!  That explains it!
