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.
the pea cock sounds unimpressive indeed
Does neither of those things
Kind of cocks
english being mid as usual
We do concerts at the arboretum in Pasadena during summers, and there’s a bunch of Drag Turkeys that live there.
Issue is: this isn’t a thing, but an animal. Shouldn’t we ask the animal what it calls itself?
The animal: “KAWAAAAAAA”
That’s an “On-bird” actually.
Other animals with weird names here:
Raccoon - Wash bear.
Squid/octopus - Ink fish
Polar bear - Ice bear
Tarsius - Ghost animal
Anteater - Ant tramp
So many weird animals.
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.
Flexbird
Idk. PEE COCK has a certain panache
