Tame Jackdaw?

[MilosMum]

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.

Not necessarily tame,around me they even tap on the patio door if there is no food out,
They constantly monitor your reactions and seem to know just how far they can go with
an individual, add more(or different) people and their wariness increases like all corvids
they are very intelligent

In my last Flat I use to have a squirrel and a jay that would tap on my Kitchen window a couple of times every day for food rather then go to the feeders in the garden.... I think they decided they got more food that way
