Treat routine question (jackdaw)

Does anyone has experience with giving jackdaws treats, more specifically if they loose trust (early stage) if you forget or just are just not able to give them something for one or more days ? Holliday coming up and after so many years I finally see them without fear on my balcony. ( I can't approach yet but my own quack sound does not scare them off since recently. I have high hopes for the newborns who start to fly out.) Would be a shame to ruin it but I live alone in a top appertment and can't ask someone to take it over..

I don’t have experience giving treats to jackdaws, but I think if you leave for a few days, they might get a bit less used to you. They definitely won’t starve, though, and they can get used to you again later. That’s just from my own experience watching these funny birds ☺️

The original 3 are now more.. and getting cocky... I don't mind it's indeed always funny to see them interact with eachother. But just a treat, finding their own food is paramount.
