Saw this little guy sunbathing on the back of my bike when I got back from getting groceries. Probably liked the bags since they were quite warm from being in the sun.
He was very unperturbed when I walked up to him, pretty much giving me a look of “Do you mind? I’m enjoying myself here”. Only moved when I unlocked my bike.
Cute! But to be pedantic, this is a jackdaw, a different type of corvid, super chill little guys
Yeah fair, the English name slipped my mind while writing the post and I was too lazy to look it up. Also true, they’re super chill. This one hangs around the entrance of the grocery store with a buddy quite often, sitting on the bikes and just generally vibing.
No one calls jackdaws crows ¬.¬
Funny, you made me realize that’s a language thing. In my native language (Dutch) it is very common to refer to both crows and jackdaws as crows.
In dutch a jackdaw is called a ‘kauw’.
