Here's the thing. You said a "jackdaw is a crow."
Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.
As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.
If you're saying "crow family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens.
So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people "call the black ones crows?" Let's get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too.
Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that's not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you'd call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don't.
It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

nigga, jackdaws aren't just in the same family as other crows; they're in the same GENUS (Corvus). now, they've got their own subgenus (Coloeus), do seem to have diverged from other crows fairly early, and some people have suggested giving Coloeus its own genus, but declaring that they're not crows is just a bunch of self-important wankery.
Speaking as a scientist who studies trilobites, I can tell you that the Agnostida diverged from other trilobites fairly basally and that some have suggested that they be given their own grouping outside Trilobita. But I'm not going to go on a Vietnamese tax-accounting imageboard and start blathering about how AGNOSTIDS AREN'T TRILOBITES YOU GUISE

Dude, a fucking jackdaw is a crow or close enough to count, just like magpies are fucking ravens with different colored feathers.
Let's just stop categorizing birds by their minor differences based on species or color and let's celebrate their differences by categorizing them all into the same group.
A jackdaw is a fucking crow, they interbreed and everything. Saying they are different is like saying a white person from Australia is totally different than a white person in Span.
