One of my pastimes as an incredibly lonely teenager was just observing jackdaws, crows and magpies. You can tell that they actually think before acting which is fascinating.

Also jackdaws have very pretty eyes.

There's a squad of crows living in my neighborhood and watching them set up their lil community of nests has been an amazing time
