A dialectal or archaic Scottish word for bird.
From Old English 'brid' or 'bryd,' which originally referred to young birds before the modern 'bird' spelling became standard. Scottish dialects preserved this older pronunciation.
Burd shows how languages branch and freeze at different points in time—while most English speakers moved to 'bird,' Scottish speakers kept an older sound alive, creating a linguistic time capsule!
