   Fair enough, but unlike your others, that isn't bizarre. In the vocabulary of   
   the AV and KJV writers, "turtle" means not a sea tortoise but a bird, namely   
   what we now call the "turtle dove". For a contemporary example of this usage,   
   read the poem by William Shakespeare, "The Phoenix and Turtle" (which also is   
   not about a sea tortoise).
