    I considered, ftr:

    Zack-headed ibis
    Zack-breasted buzzard
    Zack-throated loon

    I particularly liked the last one.

    The relatively less-interesting sounding "Zack Hawk" sounds more amusing when you say it faster.

    <--- FTR, this is a Tawny Eagle. Specifically a Tawny Eagle in the Maasai Mara game reserve and it was eating a piece of a recent cheetah kill. ;)

    I am quickly approaching my limit WRT mafia, but as I am fairly certain that I am the only one here who is already a bird I don't see how I can possibly resist joining the fun.

    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 a good game host, you know?
    BLARGH!

    God, I can't believe someone would get so wound up over something so unbelievably trivial. Who the hell cares? Unidan, apparently. Also all his alternate accounts he used for vote manipulation. Pathetic.
