Are Jackdaws On The Increase
17 Answers
We have never had Jackdaws in our garden before and we have been in this house for almost 50 years. This year there have been as many as twenty in the garden early morning,every day. A lot of them are young ones ,still being fed by the adults. The thing is ,they eat everything that is put out for the smaller birds.Fat balls, nuts etc.I have had to put things around the feeders to try to keep them away. They make short work of the pasta that I use to feed a couple of magpies.And the din they make is horrendous. During the day they fly back and forth .
Just wondering if anyone else has these birds in their garden ?Why have they suddenly made an appearance in the garden

I have some great shots of my last holiday in Ireland where the Jackdaws were coming onto our balcony and as close as the door looking for food.

Get yourself some of these andres where only the smaller birds can feed.
