Pic of my bestest companion !!! ; ) Thanks Kiowa for taking such a cool pic !!
Thanks.....I can see it all now...
This is a Jackdaw (Jackdaws are Britains smallest crows)...its my second one, I already had one that was hand reared and could not be released...but since this guy fell down someone's chimney while a fire was lit it got all its feathers burned and so has to stay in for at least 6 months or until it has moulted all its burnt feathers through...this is quite lucky as he has now paired up to the other one and they are fully bonded, all I have to do now is get them with babies and I can start letting him out to get wild foods...then he will return to feed his kids and I will be able to let the kids out too, and then I will be able to let her out too and he will look after her out there.....WIN - WIN situation, she gets the chance to go back to the wild.....always the best option!!! Oh yeah sure, I know, Its a gamble but one I have done before and it worked ok then...
Here he is...I called him "Jasper" as he is a bit of a rogue...lol...he has been in the small aviary since this picture was taken, I had to check him out before putting him in with "Tiny" the one I already had...
