Tame Jackdaw?

Today I was in the kitchen when hubby called me to the garden. There was a young jackdaw - he was totally fearless....

I handed hubby a couple of squares of cheese - at least expecting our feathered pal to fly away if he had them chucked at him - he just sat there, inspected our offering and sat and snacked on the cheese while hubby was less than 6 feet away, then after he;d done eating he flew up to the bird bath for a drink.

Is this usual for a Jackdaw? Ive never seen this type of behaviour before! He'd been hanging around the garden all morning before this. Could he have been hand-reared and released by someone? I have a lot of bird feeders including a feeder bowl and I get a lot of birds in m garden.
