- The jackdaw is not a very big bird. He is very like a crow only the jackdaws head is grey. It is said if you get a young jackdaw and split his tongue he will talk like a parrot. I never heard tell of any body doing this The jackdaw builds his nest is the top of a chimney. People some times pull down the nest because they block the chimney.
