Jackdaws are probably our most intelligent birds, they always feed in
pairs, one keeps a look out, whilst the other eats.

Round here the Jackdaws fly in flocks - often over a hundred birds or more.
When they descend on the garden they are always mob-handed and will strip
the bird feeders in minutes.

I have put CDs over the nets of nuts and fat balls this keeps the
bigger birds off.
I did see a jackdaw hanging upside down from a thin branch trying to
do a tarzan act to get at the fat balls.
