I noticed that some of the Spanish speakers I know call Thanksgiving, "turkey day."

Me fijé que algunos de los hablantes de español le dicen al Día de Acción de Gracias, "Día del Pavo."

When I think about turkeys, I always remember the beautiful but endangered ocellated turkeys I saw during my visit to Belize.

Cuando pienso en los pavos, siempre me acuerdo de los pavos ocelados hermosos que están en peligro de extinción que vi durante mi visita a Belice

(Puedes ver que están relacionados con el pavo real)

La primer vez que ví un pavo me asustó porque pensé que era un pollo que había sido quemado.

The first time I saw a turkey it scared me because I thought it was a chicken that had been burnt.

Me fascina comer pavo asado excepto la pechuga, que es un poco seca para mi gusto.

I like to eat rosted turkey except for the turkey's chest, it is a bit dry for my taste.

I always have enjoyed the flavour of a turkey cooked on a wood stove. Siempre me ha gustado el sabor de una pavo cocinado en una estufa de leña.

Nunca sabía que el pavo y el pavo real estén relacionados, pero por causa de sus nombres españoles á mí me parece.

I have never known that the turkey and the peacock are related, but because of their spanish name it seems so.

If you ever lived near a Peacock you would think that it was related to the devil ! - ray76, Nov 24, 2011
They have a piercing screech which goes on night and day . - ray76, Nov 24, 2011
As far as I know the voice of a turkey is very unpleasant too. - porcupine7, Nov 25, 2011
Especially if you leave the oven door open . - ray76, Nov 25, 2011
