Jackdaw, (species Corvus monedula), crowlike black bird with gray nape and pearly eyes of the family Corvidae (q.v.; order Passeriformes). Jackdaws, which are 33 cm (13 inches) long, breed in colonies in tree holes, cliffs, and tall buildings: their flocks fly in formation around the site.
The jackdaw is a small, black-capped crow of woodlands, parks, towns and coast. It is a well-known thief, stealing other birds' eggs and breaking into garden feeders.
Eurasian Jackdaws are diminutive crows, easily recognizable by their gray-on-charcoal color pattern, pale eyes, and piercing calls. They are at home in towns and cities, where they nest in chimneys, forage on lawns, and roost in wooded parks.
This is a small black crow with a distinctive silvery sheen to the back of its head. Its pale eyes stand out from its plumage. The Jackdaw's call – a familiar hard 'tchack' – gives it its name. It will often nest in chimneys, buildings, rock crevices and tree holes.
Distinctive, small social crow with contrasting, silvery-gray neck shawl and staring whitish eyes; juvenile has duller shawl and eyes. Walks confidently, and can be easy to see where not persecuted; associates readily with crows and Rooks. Flocks can number in the hundreds or thousands in the nonbreeding season.
Eurasian Jackdaws are very social birds, forming noisy flocks outside of the breeding season. Typical flocks are small (1–10 birds), but during the winter months, birds may gather in large group roosts that contain hundreds or thousands of birds—sometimes as many as 40,000 individuals.
The Jackdaw is a smart looking bird with black plumage, and a contrasting light grey nape. The eye is a piercing silver yellow in adults, but a stunning blue in young birds. This omnivorous species prefers open countryside in which to forage for food, but will nest in towns to take advantage of the warmth and cavities of chimneys.
