@paintedawg Trust me - there are dome people to whom they are all birds - hey it has feathers and it flies - dats a boid !!! I live near a Park - just a small park and I love to go there - in the UK our Magpies are black 'n' white, we have jays - they have some reddish colour but no sight of Mr. Blue-Jay anywhere
MRcool-Your spelling shows you are no genius, so your perception of what is real & not real is likely to be flawed.The raven talked, but you don"t believe it.I believe it.
Mrcool-There"s alot you are not too sure about-like how to spell EASIER.You spelled it EASYER.The crow talked, in case you need help ,which you obviously do.
Ravens, crows, rooks, jackdaws, magpies and jays are all corvids, but they are not all crows. Ravens are the largest and most intelligent and sophisticated, crows are smaller and less sophisticated but look similar to ravens, rooks are crows with bald faces, jackdaws look like small crows, magpies are brightly colored and smaller than crows, jays are like small magpies. They all have quite different characteristics, so don't call them all crows!
I actually don't call them crows unless the word crow is in their common name, I just always note things like that.
After all, if you look up 'corvid' in a dictionary it will say it's the scientific name for crows,they could be wrong,I suppose,if so it's a VERY common misconception.
BTW were do you come from?- In UK jays look little like magpies.
Yes, Europe's magpie is quite different from its jay. But look around! I'm from USA, where we have blue, green, brown, gray, Steller's, pinyon, Mexican, and several kinds of scrub jays. They all have short wings, long tails, and multiple colors or shades, and the main difference between them and the various species of magpies is their size. Look up the "jay" article on wikipedia and see some of the American jays, then compare them with the magpies of southeast Asia.
As a student in the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology at UCB and having been involved with several ornithologists and their projects, I have to agree with ccoraxfan in saying that corvid would be the proper blanket term. I think I'd get really chewed out if I said something like "ravens, jays, and magpies are all types of crows."
oh really, I have an MVZ shirt! they are all definitely from the family corvidae- which is probaly more often called the jay family than the the crow family. I am take IB 104 right now!
You are correct. The family Corvidae includes the Jays, crows, ravens, magpies, Nutcrackers, Jackdaws, and Choughs. Many of which have been proven to be very intellegent.
On what are you basing your comment on ravens being the most intelligent of the corvids? Gotta ask. From what I understand, science in general isn't even sure what to say about corvid intelligence.
That's because science in general is terribly limited in what it studies, and corvid intelligence isn't high on the priority list.
I base it on research done by people such as Bernd Heinrich (I've read two of his books, Ravens in Winter and Mind of the Raven) as well as my own observations and much anecdotal evidence from observant people around the world. Crows are amazing, but when they are directly compared with the common raven, they look a bit slow.

I really can't see the raven too well. It's hard to say if it is talking because of the quality.

No they can't. They can't ennunciate, parrots can immitate tone (depending on the species, smaller ones usually cant).
