Update on Jaki the jackdaw

It's been about 12 weeks since I found Jaki. Since then he has learned to fly, learned his name, learned to find food for himself, learned to steal shiny things like screws and keys. He has also made friends with the local jackdaw colony and he sleeps with them at night. He is moulting now and I think he will soon have his adult plumage.

 I think he has given me a name too. I've heard him talking to the other jackdaws and he uses a special call just for me when he meets me or wants to get my attention. It's a big honour for me, having a name in a corvid language. He is wary of other humans and doesn't get too close to them, which is a good thing. There's a lot of people who wouldn't appreciate having a jackdaw landing on their head.
