I just know that they are very, very intelligent birds and eat carrion, although they probably eat just about anything. If you had the opportunity to get to know one and build up its confidence it would be an amazing experience.

I've seen some very tame crows and magpies. I guess it's best to bond with them when they are young, just like budgies.

The ones I've seen were wild birds who visited a guy daily in his backyard. He used to play with them on the grass, pulling them on their backs by their legs across the grass. They loved it. I think it was like a massage to them.

Queen nobody said anything about taking these from the wild No, I can see that, but some people may get ideas of taking chicks from the wild in order to raise them as pets. It's always best to state that you will not be removing animals from the wild. With a public forum it's open to the world, his wife and kids.

A relative of the Jackdaw? Now there is a very intelligent, inquisitive bird with some interesting habits and a sleek set of feathers! Memories from a hot summer many moons ago:
I loved the one that visited our classroom everyday when I was a child. It was fun watching it sneak in through the window and waddle/hop sideways to reach things that attracted it. It was even more fun seeing the search and the fuss and then the caretaker get his ladder out. Finally the booty returned to the classroom - and, yep, there was my teacher's sparkly diamond wedding-ring retrieved from the hiding place in the tree! Shiny sweet-wrappers, tinfoil milk bottle-tops, stolen marbles, the pencil sharpener (sorry Jony Smith.. it wasn't you after all!) and the precious ring. As for taming them? Patience and trust as well as a great deal of time.

ive three storys about 3 different jackdaws one was in my backyard and i was only young so i went out to it and it hopped like twice so i went closer and closer until i was right beside him and i was able to pick it up. i brought it inside and got bread then brought it back outside and left him on my shed. it flew away soon after. another was just really small and hopped under the gate so i walked over to him and he hopped away so i tried to pick it up and put it on the fence or shed so my dog didnt get it. after many attempts it flew away. i was outside by the canal and a jackdaw was trynna get a drink so i walked over to it and put my hand down and it stood up so i lowered it downwards to the water till it got a drink then i moved my hand over to my shoulder and it hopped from my hand to my shoulder and sat there till i walked around for a few minutes and stopped to talk to people thats when it flew away.

It would be nice to have a bond with a crow, but crows are not supposed to be pets, neither are magpies or ravens, those kind of birds should stay in the wild.
But, if you do decide to try to tame a crow/raven/magpie, never give it bread or seeds, its best to find them some road-kill and put it where they could easily find it.
So yeah.. If you bring them road-kill (other than that, just leave them alone) and they might start waiting for you outside to feed them, but that's when things can get bad. If you feed them too much, they might forget how to find their own food and they will rely on YOU, and most people don't want that.
So in my opinion, bird like crows, ravens and magpies should just be left alone, the same with birds like bluejays, cardinals, ect.

On the other side of the coin, don't make an enemy of them either. They are very good at remembering a person, regardless of what you are wearing. They are very accurate with the bombs.

I think crows eat just about anything. I had a neighbor that threw them hot-dogs. They like to watch the blue-jays and squirels come and get nuts then they follow them when they bury them and while the blue jay is coming back for more they are thieving the hide out. They are very smart and pretty much like a raccoon (living garbage cans) in what they will eat.
