      in portuguese the country peru is called peru (might have an ú, i dont remember), the turkey (bird) is called perú, and turkey (country) is called turquia

      so only one is actually called turkey, sadly

        Both the country and the bird are spelled Peru, no ú in either.

    just to clarify, the bird is called perú. Peru (another country) is called Peru (or Perú, i dont remember) and Turkey is called Turquia

    i felt the need to clarify because i feel people might think you meant Perú is how we call Turkey (country).

  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.

  they thought the bird came from Turkey iirc, that’s why it’s named like that. 🦃

  In French, Quebec/Canada specifically, it’s called Dinde. A shortening of coq/poule/poulet d’inde.

  Which translates to Indian cock/hen/chick.

  It’s mainly cus settlers brought it back Europe thinking they were in India.
