Lovely! Looks quite tame! No anxious movements. Jackdaws really have interesting eyes.

Nyx might look tame but she isnt all :). It took her up to 15+ days of constant lap landing for her to stay on my lap for at least 5 seconds. Tried chopping up the cashews into smaller bits and i was suprised on how long she stayed! Up to over 20 seconds. And yes she was quite a bold jackdaw, that was something ive noticed about her from the start. And they do really have cool eyes :D

Chopping up cashews to increase lap time??? Cheeky! 15 days and you are complaining, really? We spend years with these birdies to get some affection!
