Enclose the feeding place with a wide gauge mesh to keep large birds out. This will, of course, mean that you keep out blackbirds, thrushes &c but ... you win some and you lose some.
I've no experience of feeding jackdaws (voluntarily or not) but I have noticed in gardens and other places where they turn up that if they're disturbed they fly off immediately and are not likely to return until much later (hours - compare with blackbirds, for instance, which will fly away but be back again in ten minutes). So have you tried being a scarecrow?
