I know this is a very old thread but I’ve had a jackdaw in my garden for the past few weeks. He’s definitely young but I’ve formed a brilliant bond with him. He comes when I shout him and I feed him around 4 times a day straight from my hand. He sits on my shoulder and loves to be close to me. I go away soon for a week and I’m concerned he won’t come back. The neighbors know him so I’m hoping he’s here still when I get home. Does anyone know if he will stay around?
