The scientific family name for corvids, which includes crows, ravens, jays, and magpies—highly intelligent birds.
From Latin 'corvus' (crow) plus the taxonomic suffix '-idae.' The term was formally established in scientific nomenclature in the 18th-19th centuries.
Corvids are the geniuses of the bird world—ravens can solve multi-step puzzles, crows hold grudges, and jays actually plan for the future. They're so smart that scientists wonder if we're smart enough to understand their intelligence.
