Deer and jackdaws.

The birds feed on ticks from the deer, and also assist in removing velvet from growing antlers.

In Honor of The Eaten

Oh the guards were guarding grumbly,

And the birds were flocking hungrily,

And it seems: that the flames will fail to be,

Sounds: like the car won't ram you see,

Looks: like the end of the Goat will be,

Food. For. Birds.

It seems: that security can't prevent.

Looks: that the fence's of no event.

Seems: Gävle Goat will be food for birbs!

Here the snow is gone, but I still have lots of pictures taken in the snow like this cute (and seemingly angry) jackdaw, maybe frustrated with the snow or with me taking pictures.

As of this morning, the Gavle Goat is still standing…

…but those jackdaws ate the shit out of it.

I think that should count as destroying it. It's a skeleton.

i am working on a corvid-themed art book for a class - here are the little kissing jackdaws

based on a woodcut piece by Máire Littledale ~1934-5 for an alphabet book of british birds

I made a corvidae fancam with that one boys 12 template

Through the window by Arthur Wasse

The painting depicts jackdaws nesting in the town's church, looking out onto the Bavarian countryside. This is most likely Jakobskirche, a church on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

The gavlebocken (Gävle goat) is experiencing destruction by bird as opposed to fire this year.

So here is my version of the Yule goat experiencing a similar form of rebirth as the year ends.

Gathering of the Jackdaws

Merry Christmas everyone! My gift to you are the birds that have eaten the Gavlebocken.

I love jackdaws, they can look at you like no other bird.
