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."
