Jackdaw is a small crow that is common in Europe and North Africa. It is dusky black, with gray on the back of the head and on the cheeks and neck. It measures about 13 inches (33 centimeters) long.
Jackdaws are found in parks and woodlands, on farms, and in towns. They are social birds that live in flocks all year. Each member knows its status, and high-ranking birds are allowed to eat and drink before low-ranking birds. Jackdaws nest in holes in trees, cliffs, buildings, or towers. Males and females mate for life.
Jackdaws are clever and mischievous. They often carry away and hide small bright objects. They also can learn to imitate sounds.
