The bird is Tuke A masculine word while Tuko is feminine word. They are not the same at all.

Tuko= telling someone to pray, feminine ka iyo waxad ka shekaynaysa xay tahay xunyow, jkz :)

Also, walagu tukaday is an slang term for being killed/dead; literally salatul jannaza, but it's used as a humorous way!

Ma tukatay =did u pray!
