Jackdaw by David 2010
You can't see them in the U.S.A. but they are very common here. If you are feeding pigeons there should be 1-5 jackdaws also. They are a lot more smart. They wait for a big piece, then scare away the pigeons, and instead of eating right there, they fly way to a branch then eat it there. They are all grey and black with a somewhat blue eye. They have a black mask. Much more timid then pigeons.
