My older brother found 'Jack' as a baby bird that had been rejected from the nest for being white. He raised 'Jack' for about 4 months until Jack flew away with a normal Jackdaw. Jack was very tame and loved humans.

  • Has jack got red eyes? is he an albino?

    hes beautiful :)

  • No he had normal blue eyes. He was not an albino. And yes he was very beautiful indeed. Thanks

  • Thats just so incredible. How did you manange to tame him like this? I'm so jealous that would be my dream. Jackdaws are my favourite garden bird, I have many, many in my garden but they are so incredibly shy and won't feed if they can see me anywhere near!!

  • My older bro found him as a chick, he'd been kicked out the nest because he was white I guess. He just grew up with humans so that's why he was so used to them. He returned to the wild but still visits an old peoples home in Castle Cary in Somerset. Amazing bird! Thanks for the comment and good luck with your Jackdaws!

  • Better bring them as young as possible to a animal resque center. Because what CapnBlackbird says is true. Just don't put them in a cage...

  • Thanks for the comment. It was never put in a cage. It was always allowed to fly free. It still is at an old peoples home in Castle Cary, Somerset.

  • This is amazing footage, Ive never seen a white Jackdaw before, and he seems so friendly, I have wild birds that come to my kitchen window and wait while I feed them.

  • what do you feed him ? :D ive a young black jackdaw called jack lol

  • beauty... i kept a black one until he grew up... white is so pretty

  • is this not your white jackdaw

    look at youtube: white jackdaw chester zoo

  • very nice, i didnt see before a completely white jackdaw, sometimes youll see one with one or two little spots but this is extreme. very nice

    is he still there sometimes or you lost him??

  • awesome 

  • Good on you for taking him in.You must have been both realy happy but also gutted when he flew away.

  • Poor thing, kicked out of the nest for being white... affirmative action reached into the bird kingdom.

  • I saw albino ravens and whole white buzzards, but jackdaws- never (but I've heard of them). Beautiful creature!

  • Most of jackdaws are white  becuz they fuck with there brothers or sisters so with smame DNA That the reason i think
