Picking up injured birds then had other dangers.
I rescued a jackdaw and it showed its gratitude
by becoming one of the family. It shared our meals,
invited or not, and despite having been given a good
outdoor home much prefered to roost in the wardrobe.
Clumsy birds jackdaws, particularly when landing
on your head. Smelly too, very smelly and not too
fond of being bathed.


Ah, the delights of becoming "Mum" to a jackdaw! Tell me about it!

He's hand reared, brain dead and bloody minded, especially in Spring.
Not sure if he is a plane or a human, but don't dare try and tell him he's a bird!
He's 14 now, and they only told me that he could live to 30 *after* I agreed to take him on. My biggest fear is that I'm going to be hit with a vets bill by an irate cat owner, after he has lulled the mog into a false sense of security, and then tried to forcibly drag the poor thing into his aviary.
Wouldn't be without him, though :-}
