This bird can probably be found in every corner of the world. He loves large urban agglomerations where he lives with crows and rooks from dawn to dusk.
In my vicinity, they are almost a natural clock. In the morning they signal the sunrise to me with terrible screams and gibberish, and the same thing happens in the evening. The difference is that in the morning huge herds come down from the roofs and land behind the feeding grounds, and in the evening the whole herds return to the tall buildings, from where they have a great vantage point over the entire area.
Unfortunately, this has its drawbacks, because unlike other crow species that build nests in trees, jackdaw or ventilation shafts, chimneys, all sorts of recesses in buildings and becomes a nuisance for their hosts. In natural conditions, it also looks for recesses and holes, and these are usually tree hollows.
Outstanding intelligence
Most of you know that the jackdaw is above average intelligent. She can be taught human speech fairly quickly, of course by the principle of sound imitation. Kaka can also distinguish shapes and match, for example, blocks of appropriate shapes to the corresponding holes. It quickly connects with people and tames them. In home and safe conditions, it can live up to 40 years.
It is an omnivorous bird, often rummaging with magpies in garbage and rubbish dumps. When he flies near my favorite bench, he is always careful. He watches me calmly and counts on a bite of something tasty - he always gets it.
Apparently, if a flying bird poops a man, he will be lucky in life. This is not a problem with jackdaws flying in huge flocks - the probability is huge.
You could say birds are like politicians - we feed them and they shit on us
