Oh that's just great :( Now I have the names for this pepper as Bird,
Brazil, Chiltecpin, Pinhead, Piquin. Cabe Rawit, Tjabe Rawit, and this is
not to be confused with the Bird's Eye pepper. I received some Bird's Eye
pepper seeds from Australia (Capsicum Chinese) and a photo showing red tiny
peppers. Oh, just great :( - According to "Peppers of the World, Dewitt &
Bosland" this is supposed to be a yellow pepper!?

It was a cold and rainy night when the dark figure walked into the room with
two packets of pepper seeds from Thailand. He claimed his mother brought
them back with her from the vacation she had been on. The lady looked and
noticed that the one packet named Bird Pepper had a picture on it that
looked just like the Cabe (Tjabe) Rawit she already had in her possession.
She took one look at the back and noticed that the Indonesian translation
was Cabe Rawit. She sighed and was relieved to know that the mystery was
resolved. Cabe Rawit is a Bird Pepper.
