Daw \Daw\ (d[add]), n. [OE. dawe; akin to OHG. t[=a]ha, MHG.
   t[=a]he, t[=a]hele, G. dohle. Cf. Caddow.] (Zool.)
   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.
         [1913 Webster]
