Yeah as a kid i thought raven were much bigger and had orange beaks. Rather late I learned that ravens are usually just large crows. Personally, I don’t care much but at least try to learn and use the proper names of things. At least in German, using Krähe seems to be a safe bet in any case.
Cheers! I appreciate the small insight into the names that are common to people with some knowledge about these different types.
So far, I might have a chance to name Dohle, Nebekrähe correctly and maybe have a good chance of picking Rabe, rather than Krähe due to its size, and being somewhat right about that.
I’m always thankful if someone can tell me right away what things are called.
Haha thanks for preventing history from repeating itself on Lemmy. I shouldn’t be surprised that there’s already drama behind stating that jackdaws are, essentially, crows…
It was one of those things that became almost obligatory. On any thread where someone mentioned jackdaws or crows, someone would say last say “Here the thing…” If not the whole tirade. It got to be pretty tiresome.
Yeah I can imagine how quickly that got old when tens of comments are just that very same spiel. But still I wonder how I’ve missed that since I’ve spent quite a bit of time on reddit and really enjoyed reading up on these major events of reddit-history.

Probably a jackdaw. According to wikipedia this still counts as a raven, therefore as a crow!
Shot in a harbour in northern NL.
Here’s the thing…

Okay, this isn’t Reddit, no one needs to say “Here’s the thing…”
Alright, but who said that?
Reddit name was Unidan. Here’s a non-Reddit article about it.

Google “jackdaw Reddit” and I bet you get a lot of “here’s the thing” comments
