fireman 10,861 Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Cat food,few eggs and soaked dried dog food is the easiest things to feed it (if it can't fly again as it might even with a dropped wing) it'll soon tame down and not be so jumpy as you open the cage door,you might not get it hand feeding tame but it will suss you mean it no harm soon enough. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDO.1 22,514 Posted October 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 I would shoot carrion crows at every opportunity. But I've only ever shot jackdaws and rooks if they are causing a particular problem somewhere. Every year I plan on catching a young one to train . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

downsouth 7,143 Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 My pal had one that he hand reared when we were kids.It would ride the mile to school on his handlebars every morning and turn up every playtime and dinner time to see him and would be there waiting for him after school.Peter Duncan came to our school and Blue Peter did about a 10minute bit on him.Then a couple of weeks later some horrible c**t shot it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
