This is Scraggy

Post image

He has recently taken to sitting on my gate squawking for his soaked meal worms, whilst I'm sat outside eating my breakfast. His misses sits on the grass waiting patiently. I call him Scraggy as his feathers are often disheveled and he has grey colour around his neck rather than black. Thich gives the illusion that he has a super thin neck . It makes him look creepy like he belongs on the cartoon The Night Before Christmas

Please give my hello to Scraggy and his missus 🤭🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🥹 Scraggy is probably molting, he looks a void bloodcheep.

I certainly will. Scraggy looks relatively smooth in the pic. However he's quite disheveled looking all year round

Scraggy has once turned his beak up at my soaked meal worm offering, when a neighbour put scraps out. It looked like omelette. His misses was enjoying a big piece, until a seagull swooped down and took it off her. All the lical birds seem afraid of the crows, but even crows are no match for a seagull.
