there are 4 Hypothesis about IE, outside the steppe people which I do not share, at least as expressed by Kurgans or chariots, although I find Arsenic bronze dates route etc a correct one, especially for North IE languages
1, Indo-Hettit
2 Indo-Iranian
3 Armenian (Armenian=Thracian)
4 Greco-Aryan
from all 4 the last seems the most correct in all Linguists, with its own problems ofcourse
Indeed the closest European known Language to Aryan-Iranian is Homeric Greek (Aeolian dialect)
on controversary ancient Greeks describe Scythians as Iranian speakers or close to Iranian
we know Scythians in Europe as Scythia major minor etc, even that they enter pannoni Basin at last,
how much linguistic influence could the Scythian bring to Europe,
for example greek goat αιγα sanshqrit goat aiwa is the same, but this does not mean sanshqrit=greek
BUT SANSHQRIT<IE>Greek
they both sprung from the IE,
a good example is the bird you describe,
Polish Phasan Romanian B.... Iranian B.... Greek Φασιανος
wow what I see? that all the world speak Greek (since I am Hellenas) or Polish or Persian etc.
NO simply again I discover IE.
could it be a loan word?
Yes i must search many, like
1) the homeland of the Bird, for example the word crocodile is not a IE word, Pommeranian language could not have crocodile in their vocabulary, so the word is imported to them
or the word pottato, or better bananna these are not IE words.
2) aspirations for example celtic horse hephew and Greek ιππος ippos, we see the difference in h while miss in Greek and ph turns to pp
that means the word Hippopotamus is a loan word from Greek to celtic languages
3)meaning of the word, like athletics for example in English, it can describe sport fitness competition etc, but its true meaning is Greek, so it is a loan,
as the word computer to most of modern languages or pharmacie, or status-qvo, or many many other

ΟΘΕΝ ΑΙΔΩΣ OY EINAI
ΑΤΗ ΛΑΜΒΑΝΕΙΝ ΑΥΤΟΙΣ

When there is no shame
Divine blindness conquers them
Hybris (abuse, opprombium) is born
Nemesis and punishment follows.
