Country intro
Jackdaw on the ground
Te Jackdaw is an omnivorous and opportunistic feeder, and eats a wide variety of plant material and invertebrates, as well as food waste from urban areas.
It was originally described as Corvus monedula by Linnaeus, but analysis of its DNA shows it is distinct enough to warrant reclassification in a separate genus Coloeus.
The Western Jackdaw, sometimes known as the Eurasian Jackdaw, European Jackdaw or simply Jackdaw, is a passerine bird in the crow family. Found across Europe, western Asia and North Africa, it is mostly resident, although northern and eastern populations migrate south in winter.
