When you say 'brought to you' I guess you are either a vet or a wildlife rescuer or have a reputation locally as one who rescues injured creatures. Great. I liked the image of the Jackdaw pecking at your trainers. Mine didn't get quite so close but it did trust me enough to be about a couple of feet away and watch what I was doing. ff

Yes I'm not a vet or officially a rescuer as such,Featheredfriend.But I've been looking at wildlife and helping where I can since I was about 10,people get to know that I have that interest and bring them to me.The Jackdaw got up to some very naughty antics,the worst was when one of my friends was climbing a tree,he landed on his shoulder and started pecking his ear,the lad was right at the top of a tree and didn't see the funnyside.It is likely that this Jackdaw was an escapee or released.Cheers Jason.

This does happen Jason as you say when people know you are interested in wildlife it snowballs and annimals arrive at the door on a regular basis.
Anyway not a bad thing

Jack was here in the garden this morning. He was on his own and busy looking for worms. I watched him pull one unfortunate one out of the lawn and enjoy it. He looked very well and fit and stayed quite a while. I was thrilled.
