We know more about birds.

I was thinking you were going to say that studying birds helps us understand the impact of certain events on the global ecosystem. Like if a bird species dies off it could be a sign of bigger problems. Kind of like a macro canary in a coal mine kind of thing. But I guess we study them just for the sake of knowledge, and that's cool too.

Jackdaws or crows?

Haha! Yes, that too. I was at a conference and didn't have time to go into depth, thus a flippant yet effective response.

This is a trick question...Jackdaws are a type of crow.

I love that Nickelodeon-looking bird. What a clown.

What about grackles, though? They suck, right?

I loved that episode of Planet Earth. I was pretty stoned watching it.
