Jackdaws are two species of bird in the genus Coloeus closely related to, but generally smaller than, crows and ravens (Corvus). They have a blackish crown, wings, and tail, with the rest of their plumage paler.[2] The word Coloeus is Neo-Latin, from the Ancient Greek for jackdaws: koloiós (κολοιός).[3][4] They come from Asia, Europe, Africa and Siberia.
