Funnily enough, that Unidan copypasta is 100% correct. I don't know why, for as long-winded as it is, though, he doesn't use more taxonomic names to make it precise: jackdaws are in genus Coloeus, and crows and ravens are in genus Corvus, both under family Corvidae. The apes are the primate superfamily Hominoidea*, which Homo sapiens sits under. There, Unidan; that's all you had to say.

* To clarify, not "are in" – are. You are an ape if and only if your species is in this superfamily.

I thought he was a great contributer. It was disappointing to see it fall apart like that.

It was never that they were wrong it was that they lost it and harassed someone at length and with alts about birds.
