Jackdaws can be found any where in Banton. For example the woods, our school playground or even your garden.
General
An easy way to identify Jackdaws are because the back of their neck is light grey and they have a white iris. Carrion crows however are bigger and have brown irises unlike jackdaws.
Life cycle
For nesting they will use anything from a hole in a tree to a chimney. There nests are usually made up of sticks,wool and hair. Jackdaws form strong bonds and their eggs are a blue-green with dark spots and the chicks are born at different times so the first born has a better chance to survive than the last. They eat seeds fruit and invertebrates (animals without backbones) but will eat other things.
Fun facts
Some birds go grey in old age but is usually not noticeable because the reason for greying is because of changes to their feather structure. Greying is more noticeable in jackdaws because of their black feathers.
