I don't know other than what the PNC Financial Services Group gives for their data each year. I don't write it. I only pass it on. ;-)
I did do some research and it appears that it was originally a "colly" bird which is a blackbird. Hell. I can get you four of those for free out in my yard. tee hee.
Merry Christmas!
