jackdaw

You would not use an oscilloscope as a means to teach the sparrow's call from the blue jay's from the robin's from the jackdaw's.

When the child got bored, the jackdaw would run back to the child to get it to chase again.

Honest mistake, pretty sure you mean jackdaw stuff.

Did you still have a cat residing in the house at the same time as the jackdaw stayed with you?

The child was chasing it, and the jackdaw used hedges and toys to hide behind, and whenever the tiny human came close, the jackdaw would run to the next thing and hide.

The jackdaw had flown off somewhere, earlier in the day and not come back.

I'm confused, does this have anything to do with the Clojure Kafka client also called Jackdaw by FundingCircle?

I always maintain the source of the quote to be Nietzsche (He was a jackdaw - aren't we all?

I have seen a jackdaw play a combination of hide and seek and tag with a 3 year old child.

If there ever were a time to post that jackdaw copypasta;) I missed the video included in those links - very convincing, indeed!

When out walking one night a few years back, I was lucky enough to find a baby jackdaw on the ground that must have fallen from its nest.

As the jackdaw got older, it got more independent and would go flying off for longer and longer periods until, one day it flew off to join another group of jackdaws in a park and never came back.

In a less sanguine vein, Pechkin the Postman also has a nervous breakdown after thinking Khvatayka the Jackdaw is continually asking him "kto tam?" (both a fairly corvidesque sound and "who's there?" in russian) despite his efforts to explain that he's the postman bringing a magazine.

When I was a child we also nurtured a jackdaw back to health, his name was Klaus and he learned to talk, he understood the concept of "Hello" and would use it correctly when you entered the house, and if he wanted you to leave him alone or we got stuck in a "Hello" greeting-loop, he would say "Go away".
