Be glad you haven't got jackdaws. They are smart enough to get food
from the feeders and working in teams they can empty a feeder in a
day.


I have jackdaws (and have just frustrated their attempts to build a
nest in my chimney), and they haven't even investigated the feeders
AFAIK.


I can hear the jackies in my study chimney now. I quite like the sound
but I've never lit a fire in this room yet. But last time that chimney
was swept, I think he got about 4 large bags of sticks etc. out of it!

We have a lot of jackdaws, doing the same thing and 'hoovering' the tea
room lawn after we've closed. It's just that we've never seen the rooks
trying this manoeuvre before!




Any chance of snipping unneeded text when you reply to someone.
I've snipped the 84 lines you unnecessarilly left in.

I did have jackdaws. Then they moved to a different chimney and I got woodpigeons instead - drove me to distraction.

But they've moved on and for the last few days I've had a blackbird. Long may it continue!
