That bird Is called Turkey in English
It’s called India (translated) in Turkish, and many European languages
In India it is also named after Turkey
The Arabic word for it translates to East Africa
Malaysians call it Dutch Chicken
In Cambodia its French chicken
And the fucking bird comes from North America
in portuguese the country peru is called peru, the turkey (bird) is called peru, and turkey (country) is called turquia
so only one is actually called turkey, sadly
edit: none of the peru have a ú, i’m dumb
just to clarify, the bird is called peru. Peru (another country) is called Peru and Turkey is called Turquia
i felt the need to clarify because i feel people might think you meant Peru is how we call Turkey (country).
edit: it’s both peru with a normal u, not a ú
It’s called India (translated) in Turkish, and many European languages
TIL that “kalkun” (danish word for turkey, the bird) actually comes from Calcutta, as in the modern day city of Kolkata in India. Wow.
