Daw
\Daw\ (d[add]), n. [OE. dawe; akin to OHG. t[=a]ha, MHG.
t[=a]he, t[=a]hele, G. dohle. Cf.
Caddow.] (Zo["o]l.)
A European bird of the Crow family (
Corvus monedula), often
nesting in church towers and ruins; a jackdaw.
[1913 Webster]
The loud daw, his throat
displaying, draws
The whole assembly of his fellow daws. --Waller.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The daw was reckoned as a silly bird, and a daw meant a
simpleton. See in Shakespeare: --
“Then thou dwellest
with daws too.” (--Coriolanus iv. 5, 1. 47.) --Skeat.
