| Corvus monedula (Linnaeus, 1758) |
The Jackdaw (Corvus monedula) is one of the smallest species (34-39 cm in length) in the genus of crows and ravens. Most of the plumage is black or greyish black except for the cheeks, nape and neck which are light grey to greyish silver. The iris is greyish white or silvery white, the only member of the genus outside of the Australasian region to have this feature. The bird is sociable, moving around in pairs (male and female) or in larger groups, though the pairs of birds stay together within the flocks.
Range: A very large area stretching from North West Africa through virtually all of Europe, Iran, North West IndiaThe Republic of India is a large multicultural country in South Asia, with a population of over one billion. The Indian economy is the fourth largest in the world, in terms of purchasing power parity, and is the world's second-fastest growing economy. and SiberiaSiberia ( Russian: , common English transliterations: Sibir Sibir' is a vast region of Russia and northern Kazakhstan, constituting all of northern Asia, and extending eastward from the Ural Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, and southward from the Arctic Oc.

European and Daurian Jackdaw together form the subgenusIn biology, a subgenus is a taxonomic grade intermediate between genus and species. The subgeneric name is generally shown in brackets, placed between the genus and species name. It can even be the same as the generic name. the Tiger Cowry of the Indo-Pac Coloeus.
