You must be really passionate about pigeons to write seven paragraphs of condescension and a veiled insult because of one comment. Or maybe XKCD was right (again) and it's just an ornithologist thing.
It's a famous copypasta
Oh dear, have I gotten myself... got?
You are far from the only one in this thread who has been gotten. You might be the only one to get that you got gotted though...

old days of reddit and a famous poster called UNIDAN. oh the good ol days. are jackdaws not just crows?
Well idk they’re both corvids. I’d refer to a ‘carrion crow’ as a ‘regular crow’ - black all over, feathers onto the top of the beak, flat head, about the size of a box of Kleenex. A jackdaw is pretty distinct as far as it goes, smaller, more like the size of a mango. They’re also mainly dark grey, with a darker head. Smaller beak. Jackdaws have white or pale green eyes, crows have black eyes. Jackdaws go ‘Aah Aah Aah’, crows go ‘caw caw caw’.
History would at least indicate that it's an ornithologist thing.
