Don't give 'em liquidised stuff mate, you'll choke 'em. They want minced meat of various sorts , bit of soaked dry dog food, small chunks of tinned dog food, a few small worms and meal worms. Little and often. Good luck mate.

Did have one as a kid also a magpie.

Long time ago and cant remember what we reared em on!

Both were real tame and flew loose round the garden always came home.

The magpie drowned itself in a waterbutt!

Being the territorial things they are it thought its reflection was a rival!!

 

I think years ago it was said if you split a jackdaws tongue you could get em to speak?

 

And before the smart comments come it was more than ouch lol
