There, young popinjay, young daw--look at him, Hurst!— The King's Esquires The Jewel of France
Zerdush taught the existence of but one deity, who was called Maz-daw or as it is pronounced now in Persia, Hurmizd.— Modern Persia
In this he differs from the daw; for the daw is less specialized; he is an undersized common crow, livelier, more impish than that bird, also more plastic, more adaptive, and takes more kindly to the domestic or parasitic life.— Birds in Town and Village
It was the last of its kind at that place, and I do not know if it still lives Next to the chough the jay comes nearest to the daw mentally of all our crows, and as he excels most of our wild birds in beauty he would naturally have been a first favourite as a pet but for the fact that it is only in a state of nature in which he is like the daw--lively, clever, impish; in captivity he is more like the magpie and affiliates even less than that bird with his human associates.— Birds in Town and Village
How, I inquired, did these innocent birds get on with their black neighbours, seeing that the daw is a cunning creature much given to persecution--a crow, in fact, as black as any of his family?— Afoot in England
