 ===== Mixed Age and Mixed Species Release Groups =====
-Alternatively, when a safe mix cannot be established, we would usually create a juvenile mixed rook and crow soft release group, located in close proximity to our residential crow aviaries.  Juvenile jackdaws are usually  the first corvids being released, which can be of course released in single species release groups, when no older birds are ready for a soft release. This is usually is going to happen in August.  As far as jays and magpies are concerned, and in particular when the numbers of releasable birds are very low, then juvenile birds can be mixed with juvenile jackdaw release groups. However, one has to make sure that no adults are amongst the respective release candidates, as experienced or wild adult jackdaws will usually not tolerate magpies or potentially jays.

 ===== Acknowledgements =====
-And that is why we are enormously grateful to our bunch of unreleasable corvids we are taking care of right now at Corvid Isle, as only with their help we have successfully released many hundreds of corvids over the many years we have been involved in bird rescue and rehabilitation. Together we managed to give so many birds the second chance they have deserved.
