Wattle is a noun referring to a strip of woven strips (often willow or similar material) used to construct fences or walls in traditional building, or in some regions the term designates a decorative or functional strip adorned with small, nerve-like structures in birds (notably the Australia’s wattled lizard family). It also commonly names the fleshy, often wrinkled, hanging skin under the beak in some bird species. The word conveys a rustic, craft-related sense or a regional biological feature, depending on context.
