English term or phrase: bird's eye organic chillies

piment oiseau biologique
Explanation:
If you are referring to the chilies often used in Thai cooking, they are known in french as "piment oiseau" (this is the singular form). I found this by looking up French versions of Thai recipes that I know contain bird's eye chilies. After I found the term piment oiseau, I did a google image search, which turned up many images of bird's eye chilies. I hope this helps.

neutral  Sheila Wilson: piment de Cayenne can be much larger than the bird's eye chili. Some of the ones I grow are a good 10-12cm and that's not a bird's eye
