Description
Jackdaws have been observed sharing food and objects. The active giving of food is rare in primates, and in birds is found mainly in the context of parental care and courtship. Jackdaws show much higher levels of active giving than documented for chimpanzees. The function of this behaviour is not fully understood..
They are, as most Corvids, highly intelligent, not only as the above actions show but have even been seen to undertake mercy killings of a fellow flock member in obvious distress.. Having witnessed this myself in preparing this new wildlife series.
