also, if you decide to breed, remember that some birds, if not all are very protective parents, lol, like with the swan, my first thought wasn't, awwwww, it is bringing the cygnet over, it was shit, can I get up this bank quick enough if it decides to attack

I love you Katy

I've never so much been worried about adult geese and swans attacking me as long as I don't corner their babies. I've had mostly wild goose babies climbing up on my lap for food with their parents standing by watching.

Laura, if you do find someone breeding magpies, jackdaws or crows, would you drop me a line too? I've been trying to find CB corvids here in the UK since I got here.

magpies, jackdaws, jays and ravens can be bought captive bred, although breeders are extreemly dificult to find. carrion crows and rooks can't, although exotic species such as african pied crows are also available ocasionaly. the thing about magpies stealing shiny stuff is a bit of a myth. magpies, and all other corvids, steal anything they can pick up, shiny or not, and hide it in holes all over the place. I have kept tame rooks, jays, a magpie and a jackdaw. had wild crows but not an especualy tame one yet. (had a hand reared youngster brought in this year but I have now managed to get him to turn wild again by keeping him with a wild adult. he will now be able to be released) my own magpie used to travel lituraly everywhere with me on my shoulder. she would ride the train, come shopping in the city, come to work, wherever i went, she would be with me. they are very high mainenence animals to keep due to their incredable intelegance and mistivious, destructive nature, but if you have the time to commit to them, they do make fantastic pets.

Corvids poo all over the show too, they aren't like seed eating birds which have droppings they have squirtings. If I was going to keep one it would be outside in an escape proof(to protect the songbirds, not it), jet washable aviary(as they would soon turn it white. I think I remember reading you live in a flat Laura? Personally I wouldn't bother if I was you.
