What does ser un pavo mean?

ExpressionColoquial

to be a daft sod

A pavo is a turkey, and calling someone one says they are being daft. It is mild — the first bit of teasing between friends, not an insult with any weight to it.

No seas pavo, que te lo está diciendo en broma.
Said to someone missing a joke aimed at them.
