Jacko by Jeanne Willis
 
When Mick rescues an injured baby jackdaw in the park, little does he know that the bird is about to change his childhood forever. Mick nurses Jacko back to health before teaching him how to fly. And it's not long before Jacko becomes a local celebrity, amusing the customers in the family pub and guiding the trains in the local station. But when Jacko goes missing, the hunt for this local hero begins.
 
This is the true story of a little bird who soared to fame and has never been forgotten.
