The Jackdaw 



The Jackdaw is a cousin of the Rook, and, like him, 

 lives in flocks. He makes his home high up in 

 church steeples and old, ruined towers, where he 

 spends a great part of the day chattering and quar- 

 relling. He quickly makes friends with sheep, and 

 may often be seen in the fields plucking wool from 

 their backs to line his nest with. He is easily tamed 

 if he is caught when Just learning to fly, and, as he 

 may be taught to speak, he makes a very interesting 

 pet.
