There are many oak trees growing in our city. The fruits ripened on them long ago. If in early October acorns were still on the trees, only occasionally fell off, now they all lie on the ground. This is a great playground for birds that feed on acorns. Rooks, jackdaws, jays live on our squares all year round. Their beaks allow the birds to feed on acorns. Despite the fact that there are many acorns on the ground, the birds take good care of them. I saw a rook chasing a jay. Apparently, she flew in to eat acorns from another park. And the boat did not want the jay to peck acorns on its territory. But rooks are friends with jackdaws. They can often be seen together.
The rook with food in its beak moves away from other birds.
It is a pleasure to watch the birds peel the nuts off. Rooks hammer with their powerful beak. Then, with a peeled acorn, they try to retire from other birds.
A rook with an acorn in its beak flew up onto a branch. Jackdaw watches him closely. It seems that she also wants to peck an acorn. Although there are many acorns under the oak trees. You just need not be lazy. Enough for all the birds living in this park, and the visitors will get it.
The rook broke down and flew away from the jackdaw. While flying, the acorn fell out of its beak. He flew up to the branch of another tree. Sits examining the surroundings.
It seems that the rook noticed me, but continued to sit.
I went further and met another rook on the branches of the mountain ash. Sits so important, as if he is not interested in rowan berries. But I know, as soon as I move a distance, the rook will immediately begin to peck berries. During this occupation I sometimes see blackbirds, jackdaws and even tits, but rooks never, oddly enough.
How cute and funny all the birds are. One has only to observe them.
