This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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

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
