A globber is a term used to refer to a male turkey, particularly during the mating season when it is most active in displaying its distinctive behaviors. The name "globber" is often associated with the gobbling sound that male turkeys make, especially when they are trying to attract females (hens). The gobble is a loud, resonating call that can be heard over long distances, and it is a central part of the male turkey's courtship display.

In addition to gobbling, a globber (or male turkey) will often display its vibrant plumage, including its tail feathers, which are fanned out to create a dramatic visual display aimed at attracting a mate. The male turkey will also puff out its chest, strut, and perform various movements to further impress the females. These behaviors are most common during the spring mating season, known as the "rut," when the male turkeys compete for the attention of hens.

Hunters often target male turkeys, especially during the spring season, using calls or decoys to mimic the gobbling and displays of a globber to attract them into range. The term "globber" is more commonly used in informal settings or among hunters and those familiar with turkey behavior.
