Hey, Good one...

All ravens are crows.
But not all crows are ravens.

What's that sort of thing called again?

We have quite a few crow sp. here - raven, rook, jackdaw, magpie, hooded (or grey) crow... and the quite different one often called "The Commendable Crow" - the chough. Check out bird sounds for this one and you'll hear how it got its name. Splendid bird.

Actually, I think jays are also crows... ours is just called a Jay.
