A bit of a long read, but worth it if bird behaviour interests you.
I uploaded a pic of a nervous juvenile Crow earlier in the year (he landed clumsily in a bush), and he continues to visit with his parents. He's still really nervous, and spooks at just a glimpse of me at the window.
As you'll know from my pics, I've been hanging strings of Monkey Nuts in the garden for years... mostly for the Jays. Recently, the complete string of nuts tied to this pole have been vanishing; not eaten or chewed, but no string or nuts left. In fact no sign the string was ever there... so not bitten off or chewed. I found out a while ago that it was the juvenile Crow taking the string of nuts, but I didn't know for sure how he was doing it. This morning I finally found out; he undoes the knot and flies off with the lot ;)
