Corvus Monedula
I have no more knowledge of the fact than the Devil has of the jackdaw.
- Old saying.
Jackdaws are considered sacred in some parts, because of their propensity to live around, and nest in, churches. The Devil will have nothing to do with them because of this. This, and the fact that they are supposedly innocent birds, despite the fat that they are believed to take your stuff and hide it, explains the saying above.
Jackdaw
The swans will sing when the jackdaws are silent
- Ancient Greek & Roman saying.
