Are these for ornamental purposes, for mating or protection? Just wondering.

Good question. They may well have evolved as an aid to survival or procreation (e.g., wattles when shaken may stir up insects which can then be captured & eaten; birds with the biggest &/or brightest masks may attract mates with stronger genes.
Thanks Woko, wattles as personal food carrier bags.
