The Magic of Oz™

Jackdaws

A flock of thieving birds that nest in the mountains and collect stolen objects.

First named in The Marvelous Land of Oz, ch. 18

By good fortune they fell only a few feet; for underneath them was a monster nest, built by a colony of Jackdaws in a hollow ledge of rock; so none of them—not even the Pumpkinhead—was injured by the fall.

    • Indeed, the nest was half filled with a most curious collection of small articles for which the birds could have no use, but which the thieving Jackdaws had stolen during many years from the homes of men.
