I watched a flock of jackdaws fight for a piece of the pie. I believe the pie was frozen so it didn't crumble. It was 18 degrees below zero outside.

I was walking and suddenly I heard the bird's polyphony. I see a flock of jackdaws ahead. They share something among themselves and cannot agree peacefully.

There were many jackdaws. I could not capture everyone through the lens. I went as close to them as possible. One of the jackdaws took possession of a piece of pie. She held the cake with her paw and pecked at it. Other jackdaws tried to join.

Some birds tried to drive away the jackdaw. Other birds wanted to join next to her and nibble too. But the jackdaw was so stubborn that it did not yield to anyone.

In some photographs, the jackdaws look like they are trying to negotiate with the bird to yield to them. Perhaps this was so, since almost every movement was accompanied by the voices of birds.

Finally, one jackdaw managed to take a piece of the pie. But she did the same as the other jackdaw. The invader also began to peck the cake alone. She didn't even think about sharing with her friends.

Funny birds jackdaws. I stood and watched them, waiting for the other jackdaws to get something too. But to no avail.

It was like that, when I came even closer to the birds, I scared them away. All the jackdaws flew away at once. The piece of cake was left in place. But very quickly the jackdaws came again. And again one of the birds immediately grabbed the cake, while the others tried to take it away from her.

The pigeon also tried to peck at the piece. But he failed to do so. The jackdaws drove him away.

These are the jackdaws, prankster birds.

And yet I love these beautiful birds.

Jackdaws moved incessantly. They jumped and screamed. The photographs all turned out to be of poor quality. I wanted the best I could, but it didn't work out.
