A little context
What the turkey emoji means
🦃 (turkey, Emoji 1.0) is Thanksgiving first and a bird second: dinner plans, gratitude posts and “happy Thanksgiving” messages every November. Outside that week it appears for the animal, for farm content and as a jokey “you turkey”. It is not the country — that is the flag 🇹🇷 — though people mix them up. 🍗 🥧 🍂 complete the table.
Mostly around Thanksgiving in the United States and Canada, for dinner and gratitude posts.
