Saturday Critters – One leg jackdaw

Do you remember my “Saturday Critters”? I supose you don’t!  My last post was months ago. You can see it here:  Saturday critters – Nuthatch(Scortarul in romanian language)

Today I start this again! I want to show you a bird that seems to feel good on my balcony. It  comes often and stays on the balustrade. I think it has a nest somewhere in the block where I live. It impressed me and you can see why. It has only one leg.This bird is  known as the Eurasian jackdaw and it is a sociable, intelligent, adaptable bird. The jackdaw is the second-smallest member of the Corvus genus. 

Western jackdaws are very talkative birds. Perched birds often chatter together, and before settling for the night, large roosting flocks make a cackling noise.
