A daw is another, shorter name for a jackdaw, a small black-and-grey bird in the crow family, common in Europe and known for being noisy and for collecting shiny objects. This is an older, more literary word — most people today just say 'jackdaw', and you'll mostly meet 'daw' in poems, old stories, or bird-watching guides.
