Bird's eye chilli is a chilli pepper of the species Capsicum frutescens L. in the family Solanaceae, commonly found in Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Singapore. It can also be found in India, mainly Kerala, where it is used in traditional dishes of the Kerala cuisine (pronounced in Malayalam as kanthari mulagu). This species (known as kochchi in Sinhalese) is also found in rural areas of Sri Lanka, where it is used as a substitute for green chillies. It is also a main ingredient in kochchi sambal, a salad made using freshly scraped coconut ground with Thai chillies and seasoned with salt and lime juice. The term Bird's eye chilli is also used for the North American Chiltepin pepper, both due to their small round shape and because they're widely spread by birds.

The plants have a strong root system, are uniform and tend to handle difficult conditions exceptionally well. Plants have good foliage cover that protects the fruit against sunscald. Fruit size is medium -12 cm in length by 1.5 cm in diameter and weigh around 10 – 12 g and have thin fleshed walls. The uniform fruit are very hot, with a good flavour.

The tiny Chile peppers of C. a. var. glabriusculum are red to orange-red, ellipsoidal, and about 0.8 cm (0.31 in) in diameter. Tepin is derived from a Nahuatl word meaning "flea". Tepin peppers, or "birds eye" or simply "bird" peppers (due to their consumption and spread by wild birds), are extremely hot, measuring between 50,000 and 100,000 Scoville Units. In Mexico, the heat of the Chiltepin is called arrebatado ("rapid" or "violent"), because, while the heat is intense, it is not very enduring. This stands in contrast to the Chili Piquin, which is somewhat similar in size and shape to the Chiltepin, but delivers a decidedly different experience. Piquins are not as hot as Chiltepins (only about 30,000-50,000 Scoville Units), but they have a much slower and longer-lasting effect.50 000 to 100 000 Scoville Heat Units.
