Wikipedia
bird pepper
Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum is a variety of Capsicum annuum that is native to southern North America and northern South America. Common names include chiltepín, Indian pepper, chiltepe, and chile tepín, as well as turkey, bird’s eye, or simply bird peppers, due to their consumption and spread by wild birds, "unlike humans birds are impervious to the heat of peppers". Tepín is derived from a Nahuatl word meaning "flea". This variety is the most likely progenitor of the domesticated C. annuum var. annuum. Another similar-sized pepper, 'Pequin' (also called 'piquin') is often confused with tepin, although the tepin fruit is round to oval where as the pequin's fruit is oval with a point, and the leaves, stems and plant structures are very different on each plant.

bird pepper
Bird pepper is a type of small hot pepper that belongs to the Capsicum genus. It is commonly found in the Americas and is known for its bright red color and intense heat. The name "bird pepper" is derived from the fact that birds are attracted to the peppers but are unaffected by their spiciness. These peppers are often used in cooking for their unique, spicy flavor or dried and ground into a powder.
