Jackdaw dilema

[retired]

For the last week or so there has been a young jackdaw hanging around our garden very noisily. No sign of its parents anywhere.
It has steadily been coming closer to me as if after food (slightly spreading its wings and fluttering them with its beak wide open) so yesterday instead of putting the leftover cat food on the bird table I put it an a chair near the jackdaw. It flew up, eat a few bits them immediately flew onto my shoulder as if to demand that I feed it...
So I carefully persuaded it back onto the chair and popped a few bits down its beak and left it feeding itself (which it can do perfectly OK).

My problem now is that as soon as I go out the door, if it sees me, I instantly get a jackdaw on my shoulder sqauwking noisily.

Is it possible it's been hand reared then released/escaped so assumes humans are its parents ??? If so, what is the best thing to do ???

The real problem is we have a cat (hence the leftover catfood) and she is very jealous and when she saw it on my shoulder, she gave it a very filthy "I'm going to get you" look.

It does sound as if it might have been hand reared. Is there anywhere that you can put food that the cat can't get to? Corvids are very clever and if you put food in the same place each time, they will soon catch on.
