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.

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

So there are two countries named Turkey? 🤔

in portuguese the country peru is called peru, the turkey (bird) is called peru, and turkey (country) is called turquia

so only one is actually called turkey, sadly

edit: none of the peru have a ú, i'm dumb

Both the country and the bird are spelled Peru, no ú in either.
