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. <\/p>\n<\/div>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/public\/bantonbeasties\/uploads\/sites\/40319\/2024\/05\/01100852\/Shared-Image.png\")
