What is a "jackdaw"?

A jackdaw is a bird in the crow family, known for its distinct grey nape and distinctive silver-grey eyes.

The jackdaw is a social bird and is often found in large flocks, roosting together in the winter. They are known for their intelligence and can mimic human speech to some extent.
