Cortes in one OF his letters written about 1913
mentions the turkey. He carried specimens OF
the bird to Spain in 1920. where they came into
immediate popularity and the breeding OF turkeys
soon became established. It was then that the
turkey became known Gs 'pavos" account OF
his relationship to the peacock which was then
called 'pnvo real"-the fowl OF kings.
