I've been recently trying to feed and befriend my local corvids, and I've noticed the majority of them are jackdaws nesting in unused chimneys near my local shop. They've been getting more confident coming up to me to accept offerings of peanuts, almonds, and cat treats. One of them even let me sit less than 5ft away as they pecked at a peanut to crack it open. I think these might be one of my favorite animals in the world at this point, heh.
@@tatiania4 They seem to be warming up to me, yeah, they've definitely learned the places I leave food for them and the newly fledged babies have been enjoying my presence too it seems. They're wonderful little creatures.
Keep at it. They've been taking a long time to warm up to me, but I now have one in particular who will hop up onto my bench and chill with me for a while even after I've indicated there is no food left. He ate out my hand a couple of times and even landed on my knee once, though I'm trying not to encourage it too much because they should maintain a healthy wariness of humans.
I could watch these all day..I have just picked up an injured one,it can't fly I think it's wing it's hurt in some way,I'm just letting him rest..he was falling asleep in my arms while I was stroking his head,xx
Awww...that lovely. I can watch Jackdaws on my neighbour's chimney pots, but not this close up, even with binoculars. I've watched them bringing in twigs for their nest. They take quite a while to decide whether or not they want a twig. I've never seen them preening like this though 💜 I get Jackdaws in my garden too. They feed on the fatballs, suet blocks, apples, and the fat in the seed mix that I scatter on the lawn. I only feed 3 days a week though, as obviously birds need natural food too, esp in the Spring, during nesting season.
What a pleasure to watch Your wonderful video, dear John !! Thank You so much for sharing ! I really adored and could still watch Your upload for hours !! :-)) Wish You a great evening ! Many friendly greetings, Arlette
they are precious little birds , very tender and smart. This is a female named Lilly and she knows exactly what happens here. She was a mother herself...ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bADBp6eeDi4.html
