Implicating raven → corvid
Link to implication

Reason:

Think this might serve as a catch-all when people are unsure whether to tag raven, crow or the lesser known jackdaw.

Magpies and blue_jays are also part of the corvid family, but because they're distinguishable from the other corvids, it isn't really necessary. Though it would be cool to keep the family together.

tl;dr implicate raven, crow, jackdaw -> corvid

and perhaps magpie, blue_jay -> corvid

Magpie needs disambiguation. It's a mix of Eurasian Magpies and Australian Magpies. The latter aren't even corvids. I think the settlers simply named those 'magpie' because they were homesick and the colors reminded them of the old world magpies.

I've made the following changes:

• Implication: corvid -> bird (approved)
• Implication: raven -> corvid (approved)
• Implication: crow -> corvid (approved)
• Implication: jackdaw -> corvid (approved)
• Implication: blue_jay -> corvid (approved)
• Implication: raven -> bird (deleted)
• Implication: crow -> bird (deleted)
• Implication: blue_jay -> bird (deleted)
• magpie I'll leave alone for now (unless someone wants to split them up, I honestly can't tell the difference)
• Updated the avian wiki to use the new tag

See here. Eurasian Magpie (Corvidae) on left, Australian Magpie (Artamidae) on right.

I split the magpies into eurasian_magpie (54 posts) and australian_magpie (6 posts). Ferals were easy, but the anthros a bit tougher to identify. I might've made some mistakes while tagging those.

...I also moved a few to hooded_crow. Reference here.

One problem with the Eurasian Magpie tag: Black-billed Magpie (American) and Eurasian Magpie are practically indistinguishable. Even taxonomists aren't sure that Pica pica and Pica hudsonia are separate species.

Implication suggestions:
eurasian_magpie → corvid
hooded_crow → crow
australian_magpie → bird ^{_{(since Artamidae is a small family and most species are uncommon here).[/sup]}Not sure what to do with the main magpie tag. Magpie_(disambiguation)? Or just sort out the Australian Magpies (since there's so few of them), alias eurasian_magpie to magpie, and then imply it to corvid?}

I'd almost say to alias magpie to eurasian_magpie since the other one is so uncommon, but I doubt we need to be that specific. What do you think?
