Buzz,  these are two different bird families.  Corvidae includes crows, 
ravens, jays, rooks, jackdaws and magpies.  Icteridae includes blackbirds, 
grackles, orioles, meadowlarks and bobolinks.  I don't think the icterids 
are notable carrion-eaters, so they're probably not treif, but I wouldn't 
be the one to ask.
