Bird pepper is a spicy chili pepper that is popularly used in cuisines across the world, especially in South America and the Caribbean. This pepper is characterized by its small size and intense heat, which is why it's also known by various other names such as bird's eye chili, African devil, or piri-piri pepper. In other parts of the world, it's known as Thai chili, Tabasco pepper, or chiltepin pepper. The bird pepper is an essential ingredient in many dishes, sauces, and marinades, and is also used as a garnish. Its fiery flavor adds a distinct kick to any dish.
