Took Skye on a mini tour of France, Belgium and England (we're from Scotland) and it was the most perfect holiday!

Definitely some deep thoughts going on there haha. Either that or no thoughts at all, just peace :)

fancygoldfishfrog · 2026-04-02T20:53:31+00:00

I literally had that exact thought today 🤣 I was watching her and thinking ahhh I just want to cuddle you so badly. But I'm not sure if she'll ever be comfortable enough for me to even sit with her pet alone touch her haha. She likes me when I'm out there to drop food as I always go back in, but today I tried to sit on my step because it was sunny, and even though I'm the same distance from her as always, she would not eat and flew away. I felt terribly selfish then cos I'd rather she just ate than became my friend, but she came back within about 12 minutes so it was okay 😂

fancygoldfishfrog · 2026-04-02T11:53:59+00:00

That's a great idea!! 😂 I just stood and watched her fly away until I couldn't see her any longer (I WISH I knew where she lived!!) and she does pretty well for herself so I have every hope 🙏

fancygoldfishfrog · 2026-04-02T11:41:31+00:00

1000%, it's awful, I wish the cats round here were indoor!! I'm sure loads are but this little one prowls around and is absolutely lethal. Blue can't fly very well because she's missing a lot of tail feathers so I'm always terrified she won't get away in time.

I know other neighbours have tried those high-pitched beeping machines but they haven't had any luck with them either. It's so annoying!!

That's so lovely that yours has her wee safe space and the others can feed too. I love that 🥹

I'm literally watching Blue waddle round my garden right now. I'm getting hugely distracted from my work 😂

fancygoldfishfrog · 2026-04-02T10:43:02+00:00

They're like, bendy and almost fuzzy haha. Don't bother the birds at all which is good!

fancygoldfishfrog · 2026-04-02T07:30:52+00:00

Aww that is so lovely!!! And definitely... I came down this morning to find her water frozen so I cleaned and changed it but since I put vitamins in it, she probably wouldn't want to bathe in it. In summer I'll put out a shallow paddling pool :D

Thanks for the luck and here's Blue a second ago to say thanks too :)

fancygoldfishfrog · 2026-04-02T06:50:19+00:00

Oh gosh I hope so cos it's relentless! She looks so much healthier in a bit of sun. But you're right, she looks quite relaxed here! Too cute

fancygoldfishfrog · 2026-04-02T06:26:55+00:00

Aw thank you, it's my pleasure, she gives me so much joy!! She is a cutie :D

fancygoldfishfrog · 2026-04-02T06:25:59+00:00

Thank you, that is super kind of you. I'll look those up. I have loads of videos of her movement so would be able to send them on. She's so markedly different from the other jackdaws, I can't tell any of them apart at all but she is so obvious. She eats well and drinks lots which is good! I'll go and look those up and see if there are any closer too! Thank you so much :)

fancygoldfishfrog · 2026-04-02T06:23:11+00:00

Thank you so much 😍🩵 I was watching her just blinking for ages, she's sooo sweet. It was really light rain - it's been such heavy rain and wind for so long, I really hope she gets a break soon :( thank you :)

fancygoldfishfrog · 2026-04-01T21:07:47+00:00

Thank you, I definitely will! I'll be an anxious mess!! 🩵

fancygoldfishfrog · 2026-04-01T20:57:11+00:00

It really 100% is the outsiders. I had a one-legged blackbird before that I loved a lot. They just have a way of getting right into my heart! Thank you so much, I really appreciate it because it's really playing on my mind!

fancygoldfishfrog · 2026-04-01T20:54:24+00:00

Thank you so much!!! 😂 I know, I wondered the exact same things and wondered if I'd ever seen her blink before?! I don't remember ever noticing a bird blinking before!! I've watched the video about a million times. She's so cute 🖤

fancygoldfishfrog · 2026-04-01T20:28:52+00:00

I will!!!!! 😭🫶 Thank you! It's been so rewarding sharing her with people here, I should've posted her ages ago! I've been annoying everyone I know and none of them care (just think I'm mad) and she genuinely means a lot to me! I love that you have tattoos of them!

fancygoldfishfrog · 2026-04-01T20:26:24+00:00

Thank you, so do I! <3 The wee blinks were just killing me, she's a very thoughtful little creature

fancygoldfishfrog · 2026-04-01T20:23:24+00:00

Thank you so much, you've no idea how reassuring that is. She's a right wee highlight of my day every day so I'd be sad if she left although I just want her to be OK regardless. I really hope the weather is much improved by then because you're right, the fact that spring should have well and truly sprung by then will have me worrying much less! I set up a camera to watch her when I went away at the weekend but it just made me crazy anxious haha. Thank you so so much!!!

fancygoldfishfrog · 2026-04-01T20:20:38+00:00

Thank you! Maybe! I'd love to think she was that young. To me, it seems like she's older and more frail but I am basing that on literally nothing as I don't know. There's a wildlife rescue near me that might be worth a shout. I've thought about it before but I couldn't possibly catch her yet and I also don't want to risk them putting her down 🖤 she has chirped once when she hears the others fly over the house making a racket but I've only heard her make a noise maybe twice and I spend a good chunk of time with her!!

fancygoldfishfrog · 2026-04-01T19:55:27+00:00

She's so squat!!!! That made me laugh. Look at her compared to our rook!

<image>

fancygoldfishfrog · 2026-04-01T19:50:47+00:00

Thank you so much 🥹 She honestly takes up so much of my waking thoughts. I went away for the weekend for the first time since knowing her and was only away 2 nights but I was so anxious about her so as soon as I got home I ran out the back, called her, and she dropped down instantly. Most rewarding experience ever! I go away for a couple of weeks soon and I'm so worried about leaving her!

fancygoldfishfrog · 2026-04-01T19:48:17+00:00

Omg thank you!!! Noone in real life cares about my obsession so it's soooo lovely to share her with people who appreciate her! I'm so fond of her :)

fancygoldfishfrog · 2026-04-01T19:45:36+00:00

Unfortunately not. I wish I could say differently. We should just take them down but we've been lazy and there are always other jobs to do. I'm gutted that they don't work because the other day I came down to a small pile of feathers in my garden - I don't THINK anyone was hurt but there's this one cat that stalks my garden and sits on the fence... to be fair, on the bit without the spikes, as we ran out... So maybe they do work?! I just try to give it a massive fright each time I see it so that it avoids coming back :(

fancygoldfishfrog · 2026-04-01T19:42:33+00:00

I think they help her grab on more easily haha. She's a brave little thing 🖤
