Jackdaws are scavenger birds, related to ravens and crows. They are fond of pumpkins, and are the greatest enemy of Wogglebugs.
Hundreds of Jackdaws live in a nest on the side of a mountain, in a country to the south of the Land of Oz. Their nest was filled with many valuable baubles they had collected, from necklaces and rings to cash money. (The Marvelous Land of Oz)
Background[]
The novel only states that the Jackdaws nest in somewhere beyond the jurisdiction of the Land of Oz. On the Haff-Martin map, it is placed on the border of Aurissau and Ribdil, locales from the standalone story "The Witchcraft of Mary-Marie."
The Jackdaws are left out of most stage, television, and film adaptations of the novel.
