| Abstract: | " It is said that in other countries few are the places where the Jackdaw cannot find a home. Well, it must be said that in Malta few are the places where it can find one, such is the persecution the poor bird suffers all the year round, and during the breeding season especially''. This was stated by G. Despott, Curator of the Natural History Museum, in 1916 when he published his study "The Breeding Birds of Malta" in The Zoologist. Despott had also rightly forecast the extinction of this species as a breeding bird. |
