Found this on Shaw's post today. Interesting and funny. (Two in one day! I KNOW!)

There are billions of people and a version of normal to go along with each one of them. No two versions are exactly the same. There will be hundreds of thousands of little things that make up your version of normal. With any luck you can find people that have close to the same idea of what normal is that you do. These are your friends. Anyone else you try to tolerate as best you can. .... The exact definition of normal depends on who's running the asylum.

Theory 2 makes sense to me. After all magpies in the US of A, Europe and Australia are very different birds with the same name. And American robins are actually a type of thrush.
Well, that was informative! Thanks!
Sue - What?! Wikipedia agrees with you. Who knew?
Deb - It was! You're welcome!
Theory 1 is so damn odd it could be true.
Either way, I don't eat 'em no matter whatever the heck they are called. :-)
They could just call it the gobbler. I don't like turkey anyway, but my sons used to buy huge turkey legs each year and cook them up for Christmas dinner while the rest of us ate chicken or ham or both.
@EC. Americans have robins? No. They have thrush.
Peg - Dark meat only. And not the leg, too bony. I love to eat thighs.
River - I'm not a turkey fan. I'd rather have pork.
Anon - We've renamed them robins. "What is thrush? Thrush is a fungal (yeast) infection that can grow in your mouth, throat, and other parts of your body."
