Biblically accurate bird
I like it, but it’s a little long. What about a Fan fowl?
Fits well alongside “cobra chicken” as an alternate name for my country’s national bird.
Found the Canadian.
Takes one to know one, eh, @Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca?
I still love that. Like… y’know… man has a point. Name fits really well. lol
We get them for migration down here in Virginia. Maybe because I didn’t grow up around here and maybe because I haven’t had to deal with them too closely, but I love 'em.
Pavo real
Translates to royal turkey
#TheInternetNamesAnimals was my favorite viral Twitter trend. Remember the danger noodle?
I do not like the cobra chicken. :)
I still remember danger noodles.
Issue is: this isn’t a thing, but an animal. Shouldn’t we ask the animal what it calls itself?
The animal: “KAWAAAAAAA”
We do concerts at the arboretum in Pasadena during summers, and there’s a bunch of Drag Turkeys that live there.
the pea cock sounds unimpressive indeed
Does neither of those things
Kind of cocks
Ok it does go cock a doodle doo
english being mid as usual
Our best guess at the meaning of peacock / peahen is “chicken that goes PAWA!”, which, if you’ve ever spent a night in a place that keeps them, is also very fitting.
Idk. PEE COCK has a certain panache
That’s an “On-bird” actually.
Other animals with weird names here:
Raccoon - Wash bear.
