the one that keeps attacking it's reflection in my pick up window isn't it's a twat of a thing it keeps ripping my window screen wipers to bits had to replace them 3 times in the last six weeks a right manky thing with no breast feathers 

That may be a hen , birds lose there breast feathers to incubate the eggs. Given them contact with the eggs ,  ie temperature. My canary hens do that. Will be going through moult soon.

Never noticed this in a crow before back of there mouth. Crazy 

I ended up wae mine due to a mate scaling a massive pine tree to a nest that he swore was a Goshawks. Two chick's in the nest shoved them both into his shirt. He desended the tree to show me the spoil

I think a lot of us on here have done a bit of hand rearing a jackdaw or Maggie etc, especially when we were kids. 90% of kids these days  have no idea. Quite sad, really.

That’s how he first noticed it , when it came out grazed … why else would you look down it’s gob 🤣

Because I've been hand feeding it and noticed the teeth like things. Somebody came on spoke sense gave me some good knowledge on what they are. Which I'm grateful for.

Used to have a raven chick that was much the same, hand reared and answered when called, it would drop into the garden like a fcukin black bag in the wind  kids were petrified of it. He hung around for about 2 year, he'd appear on the kennel roof crowing like fcuk after being away for a couple of days then never to return. Heard years later while in village pub having a pint that a local pigeon man shot him with an air rifle for going into his loft and steeling eggs and youngsters. Shame I rather liked him 😆 

I hand reared a crow a few years back and let it out for a fly about like i had done before and it never came back, a fella a field away keeps racing pigeons and i think he did the same to my crow...

Loads had jackdaws around my village back in the late 80's and 90's, it was quite common.

Loads of us reared jackdaws when I was a kid.Mate of mine when I was at primary school had one that would turn up at the school every playtime and lunchtime then at the end of school and ride home on the handlebars.Peter Duncan and blue Peter came to our school and filmed Wayne and his bird Jack.A fortnight later some horrible little c**t a couple of years later shot it.

My uncle reared one and it was some character, it used to drive him mad cos it used to steal his cigs and lighters. He had a Patterdale and a cranky old Russell at the time, they thought it had something wrong with it cos it sounded like it was coughing all the time but it was just copying the dogs when they barked. The patterdale was fine with it but one morning he went in to the shed and the cranky Russell had killed it, little b*****d he was.
