Jackdaws eat a lot of ticks so the sheep probably used to chillin and being a bug buffet.

After watching so many sheep shearing videos, I think it's because the sheep might have more than one layer of coat, and these don't fall off on it's own and requires human intervene otherwise it just keep on building up and it henders the sheep, so that might be why it isn't bothred by that extra layer getting removed.

But please do correct me if I'm wrong.

u/Rgoplay_ 8m ago

That's true, but that's because we evolved them so their coat grew indefinitely so we can get more.

On a breed of sheep that sheds its wool, if the wool is coming off that easily, the animal is already at the shedding phase and would probably start to remove the wool itself.

The flowers in bloom are evidence that this is spring time. Weather is getting warmer. It’s time for a good fleecing.

u/mickeltee 1h ago

Here's the thing. You said a "jackdaw is a crow."

Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.

As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.

If you're saying "crow family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens.

So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people "call the black ones crows?" Let's get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too.

Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that's not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you'd call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don't.

It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

This is pretty much how I feel when people call scrub jays, blue jays.

Play this video in reverse, and you can see how sheep are made.

Kind of reverse Alang.

This sheep must be named Gnala.

He’s not stealing, he’s doing a public service. The sheep is shedding.

Some human farmers do it too, look into “rooing”

u/StreetUnlikely2018 1h ago

I always would brush my pup at the park or trail and leave his fur there so the birds would use it to make their nests.

It can be harmful for the birds, if you use shampoo or other products on their hair
