Hello feathered friends.
Last week I saw and documented an interesting event. As I hid from the sun in the shade of a tall tree, I noticed a few pigeons on the ground. One was either sick or exhausted from the heat. Not long after, a jackdaw landed next to him. Since there was a lot of popcorn thrown away, I thought at first that the jackdaw would eat them. But instead, it jumped on a helpless and exhausted pigeon. With its large and sharp beak, it pecked him on the head several times and then started to strangle him. After a few shots, I approached and the jackdaw flew away.
I know that jackdaws are opportunists and are omnivores, but I did not expect a scene like this.
