#jackdaw skull

Another edition after many busy weekends!

A Jackdaw. Our cheeky grey headed friends. Despite all the attention Crows get they appear less weary of humans and can nest in human habitats. This can result however in some unfortunate chimney accidents. .

These guys are the smallest Corvid in the UK and whilst is doesn't always seem likely it is rather noticeable when they forage along side Crows or Rooks. They do still have that fantastic dark chunky beak considered to be a multitool due to thier varied diet.

Unlike other Corvids though Jackdaw have a stunning blue eye and paired with the lead coloured head is a superb colouration which is far superior in my opinion to that of the USAs Blue Jay.

a jackdaw skeleton I cleaned for the owner of the skinks! 🖤 there was some buckshot damage to one shoulder and the back of the skull, though nothing unfixable.

Thats the last Jackda.w only Magpi.es to go and itll be one more shelf complete

Another Bir.d from the Dead Site. This one was found in a hedge in a sorry state

the rook and jackdaw I cleaned for the giveaway ☺️ both corvids to my knowledge were complete!
