We have places where you can most often see a congestion of rooks and jackdaws. These birds are friends with each other. It cannot be said that they accept other birds into their team. Once I saw a rook chasing a jay in flight. Jackdaws at this time shouted in unison at the trail. It seems as if the whole flock of birds wanted to drive away just one bird. I don't even see the ubiquitous titmice in the company of jackdaws and rooks.
I noticed that rooks give commands not only to the same rooks, but jackdaws obey them. As soon as a rook notice a danger, even an imaginary one, he immediately loudly gives his bird's voice. You pass by along the alley. Suddenly there is a desire to photograph them. As soon as you stop, you immediately hear the cry of one of the rooks. Immediately, the entire friendly team of jackdaws and rooks flies away.
I photograph jackdaws more, as they are more photogenic. They have bright eyes. Although some breeds of jackdaws are found with brown eyes, they still look better in the photo. Rooks have too dark plumage and black eyes. No matter how hard I tried, I never turned out to play the photo as I want. But at the same time there is a kind of beauty in them. I like rooks for their importance, efficiency. In our parks they feel like masters.
Two rooks climbed high up a tree. They sit on the branches as if the most important beholders. At the bottom right on the branch, pay attention. As if a friend is watching the rooks so that they give commands to other birds in a timely manner.
They sit side by side and look in the same direction.
Accidentally caught the eye of a jackdaw and managed to photograph it. It seems like a bird is looking at me reproachfully.
Jackdaws and rooks live with us all year round. We love these birds.
