...limbs and vestigial organs? Some examples….
Wings on bird that are flightless like an ostrich or a turkey.
Hind leg bones in whales. For those who don’t know how whales fit into the evolutionary chain it is theorized that they are the result of land mammals that returned to the sea.
Eyes on animals that are blind such as moles and some deep sea fish.
Sexual organs on dandelions. Like all flowers dandelions have a pistil and a stamen but they do not use them because they do not reproduce through fertilization. Dandelions reproduce through a method of natural cloning.
In humans:
Erector Pili (a.k.a. goose bumps).
Body hair.
The tailbone.
Wisdom teeth.
The appendix.
The gallbladder.
The spleen.

Wings: Turkeys aren't flightless. Only if they've been domesticated do they lose their ability to fly. Ostriches and similar birds use their wings for as many non-flight purposes as all other birds.
(I just did a bit of research on wild turkeys and you are correct on this, they can indeed fly. I know that for ostriches and similar land birds they are used for scaring enemies and attracting mates but I don’t consider a primary function for a wing, which is to fly, it seems secondary and adapted through evolution.)
"Hind legs" on whales: Those aren't ex-legs. They're vital parts of the reproduction system.
(I’ve never heard this ever. If your getting this fact from a biased creationist website like answersingenis or darwinisdead or talk origins and similar sites then I am going to discount this statement.)
Eyes on blind animals: The result of variations within the animal kinds, as they adapted to a post-flood world. Remember, the pre-flood world was dramatically different th
