You can legally own jays, jacks and maggies as long as they were captive bred. Also it is legal to rear chicks that had been found abandoned. If those chicks had bonded too much to their human owner then i am sure there is nothing in the law that says they have to be released...

 

Thanks for sharing the pics in such a great topic.... :notworthy: JD

just wondered if anyone else had a magpie,jackdaw or something like as a kid.

i new my old man had a jackdaw as a youngster so pretty much badgered him stupid to let me have a magpie,why i dont know but as a kid if you want it you want it lol

had it for about 5 years until it started getting a bit wild and eventually one day it was gone,remember it used to sleep on bedroom window sill, and mob any other bird that came near the house dug out a couple photos from 1978,f**k me i feel old.

And what a pretty bird they are close up. Like a Malards neck when the light catches it.

Back in the 70's I had a Jackdow, Crow and a Magpie, then moved up to a Barn Owl, but have to say the Magpie was the most entertaining of them all, it got me into all sorts of trouble with the next door neighbours though :D

I never had a crow but did have a baby sparrow for a while, found it in the garden as a scaldy with hardly any feathers. I kept it in a hamster cage and fed it on soaked bread until it was big enough to go. The wee thing hung about in the hedge for a while and then went on its way.
