How the Turkey Got its Name
(Adapted from Infoplease)

Christopher Columbus thought that the land he discovered was connected to India and believed that the bird he saw, the Turkey, was a type of peacock. He therefore called it tuka, which is peacock in Tamil, an Indian language. Actually, the Turkey is a type of pheasant.

The Native American name for Turkey is firkee; some say this is how turkeys got their name. When a turkey is scared, it makes a "turk, turk, turk" noise.
