Have you ever wondered , why a turkey bird is called so! yes we have a funny history behind it. The turkey bird is served as a traditional food, by the people who celebrate the Thanks giving day.
The bird got its name because, the first of their species to arrive in england, did so in a turkish ship.The first people to see them called them turkey birds. and it is also said that, the turkish merchants used to sell this birds and so the name got attached to it. In the same way, the famous turkish rugs and turkey towel got their names too.
wonder what would have happened if the birds were imported from india, people might be eating "Indians" at christmas instead!!
ironically, the name of turkeys in the turkish language is even more geographically off base, theyr'e caaled hindi, short for "bird from india". the turks thought that the birds came from india and kept this name. - crazy people!!
yet more histories are on the way to make you wow!!!!
wow
