Realize you're overanalyzing a joke, but that said....

I was referring to Bekhoros 7a WRT kosher species of animals. The Chasam
Sofer (YD 74) explicitly links kelayim and beheimah tehorah Yes, applying
it to fruit is not quite proper, since the CS isn't even sure it applies
to birds!

Although R' SM Schwadron (Da'as Torah YD 82:3) assumes that lemaaseh the
CS did, and the Avnei Neizer (YD I 75:19) attribute using this definition
of species for birds to Tosafos.

All this comes up WRT turkeys.

Tir'u baTov!
