- April 4, 2009: A ferocious battle between a Kestrel and a Jackdaw! The Jackdaws previously destroyed the Stock Dove nest in the nest box. But claiming this space won't be so easy. The Kestrels, who have previously nested here, want to return to their home.
3:25 "You're not helping, Steve!"
It honestly looked like Steve wanted to mate landing on her back like that , while she is fighting a jackdaw off , leave it to men
:-)
Baby Girl 😶
Mate while she' s at the Gate
"Get in there, Brenda!"
WOW!!! This is amazing to watch. How often does a human get to witness such a thing?
The fighting is truly vicious, and yet neither seems to be able to claim a vidtory. But I have the feeling it's NOT over yet. The Kestrels want that nest...
Fascinating the way they went in talons first...
enjoyed that!.. proper film.

Kind of interesting. The Kestrel is probably one of the smallest raptors-- we have almost the identical bird here in N. America -- they are tiny falcons and much of their prey is large insects and mice. I have put up some Kestrel nest boxes on my property and I seen them successfully drive European Starlings out of nest boxes from time to time. I don't know much about the Jackdraw we don't have them here but they remind me of the Jays (also corvids) -- they are impressively aggressive!! Is that the Western Jackdaw (Corvus monedula)? I'm surprised that it was able to put up such a strong fight against the Kestrel.
However, I can't imagine where an interaction between American kestrels (Falco sparverius) and Common mynah (Acridotheres tristis) would ever happen? Common mynah are birds of southern Asia and not currently a problem in North America because they are not breeding in the wild here. Hopefully there is no one stupid enough to release any Common mynah to the wild in North America. They are a major avian problem now in Australia because some complete fools must have released them there. They would be a disaster to N. American native cavity nesting species --even worse then European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris). These birds never should have been brought to this continent. Likewise House sparrows.
Mandolin1944 .our smallest falcon is the merlin.
Is that other name for crow?
It’s like a crow but smaller.
There arch rivals, and have always been that way, but Jackdaw's are quite tough. Where they lack talons, they make up for in sheer beak power alone, as was visible a few times, during this video footage. This is not to say, if the Kestrel had wanted to, it couldn't have killed the Jackdaw, as it was more than capable of doing so.

Get out and stay out you bad kestrel!
This is what collecting the rent is like in Compton! I swear ta god!
3:25 everyone has that freind.
Dunno how this ended up in my recommended list after 11 years but man, that Jackdaw knows some serious bird-jitsu!! The Jackdaw grabbed the Kestrel with perfect holds every time! 😂

I have big respect for the Jackdaw he didn't take any shit from those Kestrels
Crows are one of the reasons why, soon, our Birds of Prey will be extinct.
@Mastema lol
pussy ass jackdaw got lucky 1 outa thousand times
And they gang up cowards of the bird world i interrupted an attack on a peregrine falcon that had just killed a pigeon and was trying eat or take food back to her chicks she was getting dive bombed by the crows and magpies seagulls as she was disecting her kill 1 against about 20 + more
@Mastema KestrelLivesMatter
Amazing that it was actually the jackdaw gripping onto the kestrels feet. I'd have expected it to be the other way around, and no doubt the kestrel has much stronger legs and feet but the jackdaw always managed to grip it in the perfect spot, above the claws and just on the "ankle". There was nothing the Kestrel, with its stronger feet, could do about it. It's like a martial arts special hold, haha.
EDIT once in the hold the Jackdaw also pecked and pecked the kestrels controlled foot and leg. This is a bird of prey's most valuable asset, he knew where to hurt it
It knows the strength of the Kestrel....therefore has been attacking the claws. Very smart
Jackdaws are whip-smart birds, quick thinkers and being Corvid they are in the most intelligent bird family. In a fight you would want to subdue the danger points of your attacker as efficiently as possible. This Jackdaw is doing exactly that. Good Observation, props!
@@Nakamichi_Jun Yes, very similar to grabbing a poisonous snake just behind its head.
My uncle once watched an American Kestrel (much smaller) battle with a Mourning Dove for over 30 minutes.
Kestrel: *GASP!* "The Wushi Finger Hold!"
Jackdaw: "Oh you know this hold..."
The Kestrel has killer talons, but the Jackdaw is smarter.
Man I Thought The Jackdaw Was Finished When The Kestrel Got On Top
Haha I did too
Almost. Was losing at that point.
Not a chance, Covid family have solid legs unlike Raptors and bigger harder breaks. Only seabirds are more equipped for fighting
@@dantaylor7344 not true at all, well partly true, but you don't seem to understand that Raptors have evolved to not only kill other birds but eat them too.
@@TheHoggcast Never stood a chance, raptors are after easy prey they rarely rish this level of encounter, Kestrel fodder is mice, voles, rats, things on the floor. A Jackdaw is like taking on 4 weight divisions higher, it's a stupid desperate act. Covids send Buzzards packing so........
gotta love how smart the jackdaw is keeps the kestrel at the entrance preventing it from doing a full battle.
Shoot the jackdaw still got in but he got his butt whooped and had to flee.

Ой Ой
Keep in mind that it was actually the Kestrels home and it was fighting to get it back! You are supporting the bad guy! I too was rooting for the Jackdaw till I read the description!
@@nightlightabcd In nature, there is no bad guy. Everything a wild animal does is for its own survival or the survival of its offspring.
nightlightabcd How dumb are you...? Are you the type of person to demonize carnivores because “ThEy KiLlEd a DeAr CaLf”
Wow such a brave jackdaw. Rescued one many years ago, a most intelligent creature & had the most sapphire blue eyes & a crown.
Always remember the lovely scent of its feathers. Once recovered it returned to freedom, yet would visit me to say good day time to time. Just got called to the garden by a blackbird in distress, asked him what was up, he screeched & turned his eyes to the ground, there was a sparrow hawk. As soon as our eyes met it flew away. Dear black bird was making such a racket.
That jackdaw...massive respect...
Respect to the Jackdaw for protecting his home, glad both birds were not hurt during the fighting.
Believe it or not that may very well been the kestrels home just a couple of hours before, Jackdaws can fill up a nest woth sticks like that, very fast, ive seen it happen on a livestream to a Tawny Owl nest
Why would either one of them want to raise kids in THAT neighborhood? It's hard enough keeping them fed, let alone keeping intruders out.
Plus the crime level is atrocious; violent home invasions are plaguing the residents.

Great defense by jackdaw
Thanks for uploading. I find the behaviour of corvines so interesting. Very clever creatures.
Это галка, а не ворона.
Лучшая защита, это нападение. Врановые не так просты, как кажутся. Пустельга отгребла по полной 😁
@the false pandemic я вообще не орнитолог, но подумал, что пустельга хотела убить ворона и съесть
@@theo98980 На видео в гнезде - галка. Птица, один из наиболее мелких представителей семейства врановых.
Там не совсем понятно , кто именно из семейства соколиных, пытается напасть. Ведь питаются они крупными насекомыми, полевыми мышами, мелкими певчими птицами. Соколиным не по зубам такая крупная птичка, а вот ястребиным же наоборот.
Видимо тут борьба за дом, сокол пытается отжать у галки дом. Ведь соколиные очень любят занимать гнёзда других птиц. Или наоборот))) галка отжала дом у пустельги )))
Написно что это Пустельга пыталась вернуть свою хату, короче галка отжала ее дом.
@@MariSaBel-r Наоборот - галка отжала дом у пустельги, пустельга пыталась вернуть.

A mans home is his castle and will defend it at all costs.
A man's home? I see 2 birds fighting...
"A mans home is his castle and will defend it at all costs." -- I'm confused. The home will defend the castle? Or, the castle will defend the home? Or, the castle the man!?
@@kokoriko999 There's always one that has to post a sarcastic comment.
@@Nonononono_Ohno Maybe you should reduce the meds..
@@STHFGDBY "A mans home is his castle and will defend it at all costs." -- Ambiguous. What is "it"? The castle, or the home?
"and will defend it at all costs" -- Again, ambiguous. What, or who, will defend "it"? The man, or the home?
The problem isn't that I need meds, but rather that sooner or later, I'm going to get into a condition where I *will* need meds, should I have to read more of such incomplete, ambiguous and completely unclear sentences.
Here it's still rather easy to understand what actually was meant, but people who are so awfully lazy with formulating their sentences tend to be even more lazy when it comes to explaining really complicated processes or circumstances. Then it becomes a real pain to try to read and understand, so it bugs me off, when I come across too much of that kind of stuff on a single day.
Well, to be fair, perhaps some people aren't doing it deliberately because of laziness, but because they're being under meds. 😈
3:06 I cheered when the jackdaw took the opportunity to grab the kestrel's wing
What about when it grabbed the Kestrals toe hahaha totally chewed it
He wanted another round to fight that kestrel and the kestrel didn't want no smoke and bounced.
It was actually the kestrels nest read the description, this probably explains why the male kestrel wanted to mate with the female kestrel.
I was glad to see this plucky Jackdaw survive .What a fight he put up ..Corvids know a thing or two .. *
Unique observation, just look at the way the Jackdaw grabs the Kestrel's Feet and even beaks it.
jai singh they got beef, good sir
even then the Kestrel's are adamant..
jai singh disabling its main weapons.. clever bird

kingusia omg 😂😂😂😂😂
I love the birds in the Crow family!! They are SMART!! They used TOTALLY different Tactics with the Rock Doves! With the doves they just started Moving in. They took in some grass like "So we're moving in Now! We're just going to sit on this ledge and wait for you To Crack! Like your your eggs will as soon as you leave to go get a drink. >:) Thirsty yet?" But with the Kestrel ....Yeah NO! The Only way to win was an all out fight! So WoW! Talk about fearless! And going For the feet Because your getting close to those Talons! Gutsy! And the Wings! The Poor Kestrel it had a look of disbelief on it's face!! Birds can't Laugh but all the small birds in the area, potential prey for the kestrel where probably routing for the Jackdaw with this expression :D (in bird of course:)
+Tmarie2u but Myhnas are even fierce and they fight even crows badly..
Tmarie2u genuis comment homie
SO true Jackdaws ,Ravens, crows,they are very intelligent birds and can even recognize human faces
Very intelligent birds. Let's hope they never watch the film "birds" or it may give them ideas...
Brains vs brawn
3:25 kestrel's mate epic troll)))
The jackdaw is like "DON'T YOU DARE!!! YOU GET BACK IN HERE!!!"
Omg that was really useless...😂
He was like either you kick his ass, or I'll kick your ass.
He sees his wife stuck in a hole and he knows what's next. ;)
@uncletiggeri think it was more - becky, et me smaaash
i want to share two observations about Jackdaws: 1. once i walked in between houses in my neighborhood where pigeons usually hang out seeking food and one such birdy didn't notice me approaching him (unintentionally) from his blind side: 3 nearby Jackdaws started to "scream" at pigeon to warn him about my approach... 2. i saw a crow chasing a sparrow in a flight (it looked like he had bad intentions) and then suddenly Jackdaw flew by and hit that crow to distract his attention so sparrow got away from the crow... not many people would intercede for a weaker ones nowadays...
I love your stories!
When will you tree hugging morons get that animals dont have morals? They're basic creatures governed by instinct.
@@narukami597 do not blame your own personal "un-qualities" on beautiful wild nature beings!
@@shogun8379 lol you tried so hard to sound profoundly spiritual that you ended up just speaking gibberish. So very typical of hippies like you.
@@shogun8379 I can see that racist reply you made and then deleted you spiritual fuk.
It's when you see stuff like this that you know these animals aren't just reacting to stimuli. They are actively weighing their options and deciding on a best course of action.
Birds are some of the smartest animals.
They are fighting for that nest duh
It has to be the jackdaw's greater intelligence won this battle.
It took 11 years to came on my recommended page
same bro
When you're playing hide and seek and someone's tryna share your spot.
Western (aka European or Eurasian) Jackdaw: Corvus monedula; European Kestrel (aka Eurasian or Common): Falco tinnunculus; American Kestrel (not in this video): Falco sparverius
Plzzz i want a rematch between these two superstar birds immediately..i've been waiting for this for more than 7 months and i wish that my big bird wld defeat the small bird inside the small bird's own den!
glad you enjoyed the video
Brilliant footage, and proves that corvids can pack a punch! If I was the size of the kestrel, I would certainly not like to be hit by that beak! I also like how this illustrates the animal behaviour principle that the one with something to lose fights the hardest.
I was surprised to see that most of the time, the jackdaw had a foothold on the kestrel, not the other way around.
There is a kestrel box on my local nature reserve. The worst offendors there are grey squirrels.
Jackdaws are great company. I have a dozen living out back here in Ireland. They love peanuts and seem to understand Engilsh.
If you raise them from chicks they can talk like parrots and starlings
i laughed so hard when the male straight up pushes the kestrel back into the box trying to perform haha
Lol, every time I see the Jackdraw pulling on the feet I can hear MK Scorpion's voice going "GET OVER HERE!"
3:26 worst time to get raped by the male kestrel or what ever it was
hahahahha I though that
That jackdaw did not mess around! On the offensive while on the defense! She held on to the kestrel's foot and wing as to say 'bring it on!' Great footage. Love how you have correspondong interior and exterior footage. Amazing and beautiful birds!
..дд
1:40 thought jackdaw was done when kestrel grabbed him with both legs
2:40 3:08 pure ownage ^^ that jackdaw knows how to fight
If only Europeans had the willingness to fight for their homelands the way this Jackdaw is fighting for its nest box.
Really, foreigners fight for the right to our lands harder than we do to defend them. That will all be coming to an end soon, thankfully.
Europe is on its path of becoming an ISLAMIC state unless the native people don't fight back and throw those radical Islamists out of their country.
@Targhan lol, ok
@Targhan Everybody gets what they deserve, don't they? And there's a price for everything. One day you will get the bill, as will we all, Insha'Allah.
The Jackdaw is like punishing the kestrel for attacking it
If you look carefully near the beginning, unless I'm seeing things,the Jackdaw actually severs one of the Kestrels toe's.I cannot believe the Kestrel,(a female,)came back after that,and more than once.The mistake the Jackdaw make's is leaving the box shortly afterwards,l wonder who actually claimed the box for their own thereafter.
Yes. from what I've read... Crows/jackdaws/ravens are intelligent birds and quite honestly... pound for pound... awesome fighters. This Jackdaw took on a bird which is equipped to kill. Amazing. Yes, these birds are misunderstood especially since Hollywood connected them "so well" with death.
Think about it.. These birds can Talk, Learn, Fight, and use and "make" tools.
amazing they both managed to escape without an obvious injury. That JackJaw was grabbing the Kestrels talon so hard and pecking at the wings. GREAT video inside and out....thanks!
At one point in the battle when the Kestrel was on top of the Jackdaw I could tell by his screams that the Kestrels claws dug home and deep into the Jackdaws body. Kestrels have a very strong grip in their feet. So it wasn't all Jackdaw winning. If the Kestrels mate had joined her together they could have prevailed. It looked like he just wanted to mate with her when he flew in briefly.
Making a couple of more bird boxes would provide extra homes for all the birds that want to use them. Make the diameter of the entrance hole no more than 3" across then larger birds such as the barn owl will not be able to enter.
I have made several bird boxes for Kestrels and they seemed to love the homes I provided, using them year after year.
that Kestrel is such a sucker for punishment like it had a death wish!
@nickys34 They make nests inside the box. And, it's an instnict that parents have. They won't lose that.
The nest box is to help protect from predators and it's a nice way to see more of your native birds.
Kinda enjoying seeing a hawk cry for mercy
after watching so many videos and seeing how they shred their prey,
as Shaft would say of this Jack "You one bad Muthuh!" taking on a hawk,
he was holding his leg and trapping him, smart tactic
Omg I love the jackdaw attitude and reaction 😍😍😍 so much respect 🙏😌
Wooo. i will not like to cross paths with a jackdaw
One brave Jackdaw female fighting and winning against two Kestrel! Respect!
Ozzy Man Reviews video right here XD
jackdaws... I see that it is a very intelligent species of bird, it knows how to hold the kestrel, I have not seen this even in kestrel fights against owls.
This is the second video I've seen of a jackdaw fighting off a raptor. I've a newfound respect for these birds.
I like it when the jackdaw grab the Kestrel and say like where you running at come and face me
gotta love corvids
Kestrel could easily kick his ass outside that box. Jack's lucky he was inside.
Очень интересный материал . Спасибо .
when someone told you human are bad specie and violents compared to animals... 😂😂
Please. Nature takes no prisoners.
he got so pissed that he forgot he was a bird and started barking 2:03
We also have the same lack of properties in London to rent/buy... Everybody fighting with each other. There is even this thing called: gazumping and gazundering when buying properties...
Jackdaws are small but strong! I've seen jacks fighting away a crow or magpie.
Yes and even a female Sparrowhawk check it out on youtube
Everyone talking about Kestrel and jackdaw:
Me: Which one of them is the kestrel and the jackdaw?
3:26
*push* saved yer life! *flies away*
HAHAHAHA
even birds have a sense of humor XD
Goodness gracious!!
3:25
"OOGA BOOGA"
"For fuck sake Kevin, not now mate!!"
They are about the same size, the Jackdaw is made for defense and tearing, the Kestrel for catching, tearing and eating: no Jackdaw will ever kill a Kestrel, unless the Kestrel injures itself during the commotion, but Kestrels Do in fact kill and eat Jackdaws, though not easily.
1:23 just chillin in his house. "Did I hear something?"
Dang, i was rooting for the kestrel. Jackdaws are dicks!
When your cornered like that and your only priority was your kid's safety, like Ntwadumela, greet the intruder with fire.
I swear that kestrel would of sink his daggers into the crow and end the fight
So they battled and in the end neither bird took possession of the nest-box!
Actually that's not true. The JackDaw took control in the end
Jackdaw. P4P the toughest little bird. The Sugar Ray Robinson of the Corvid clan. That was a real Jack-in-the-box.
I have never seen a battle like this. This is crazy! Absolutely fantastic shots! I thought the jackdaw is a prey and is eaten. Wonderful! 5***** for you :)
Я наблюдал как несколько галочек гоняли по парку БЕЛКУ! У меня дома живет такой боец) очень умная и обезбашенная птичка)
Jackdaw: you picked the wrong house fool!
I didn’t even know how fierce competition birds have 😦
Jackdaws are awesome :D
Dang that kestrel gotta look at who she’s attacking not the jackdaw bragging her wings hope she’s okay
those birds are already dead because this video is 14 years ago
That was a very, very brave jackdaw indeed.
Great example of brains versus brawn.
Bro i feel so bad but I loved when the Jackdaw wouldn’t stop pecking the Kestrel’s toes😂😂😂💀💀💀💀😂

+Mr. Atlantis ,,,,it wasn't a Crow.....its a Jackdaw....much smaller than a Crow
I have studied Jackdaws just from my garden as there are lots of them.They are without doubt the most intelligent of all birds.I have seen them fight off Sparrow Hawks who don`t give in easily but are outwitted by the Jackdaws.They form a posse when they are threatened and hit the skies like Spitfires to ward off intruders.They nest in my chimney every year and are more than welcome.When the young finally pop out of the chimney they are almost fully grown.When I put food out the gulls swarm around fighting with each other while the Jackdaws just pick up three or more pieces and float off and leave the Gulls to it.Jim.
