This one was taken during a coffee break at Vadstena Castle.

For us it was simply fun because this type of bird (Eurasian Jackdaw) would just sit there, by the side of your coffee board and patiently wait for anything that might drop to the floor, or, more convenient for them, be thrown their way. If you would leave your table for just a few seconds, you can be sure they’ll thoroughly take care of the rests of your cake.

The other special skill of this bird is that it can learn to imitate noises like mobile ringtones or even the human voice.

So – who’s talking then??
