- I don't know.

It's her birthday in a few days.

I'm going to bake her an apple pie.

- Do you miss her a lot?

- A bit.

Hey, little one.

Have a cuddle with Yenthe.

Come on, cuddle with Yenthe.

Go on then.

- Cool animal, isn't it?

- Yes, how big do they get?

This one won't grow much more,

I don't think.

He's so sweet, isn't he?

- Do you know where the Lada keys are?

- Downstairs, on the table?

- Are you in the same class as Jojo?

- No, water polo team.

- What are you doing?

- Just sitting.

- Behave yourself, now.

- Yes, dad.

- And clean the place up, it smells in here.

- Sure dad, I will.

- Bye.

- Bye, dad.

- See you.

- See you tomorrow.

- How long have you had him for?

- A week.

A week?

That's quite an achievement.

- What's it called?

- Jack.

Do you know what the problem is, Jojo?

It's silly but they always die.

- This one is still alive.

- In the nest it might survive.

If you keep it, it'll die. Put it back.

No, I won't.

- It needs to be scared of cars and dogs.

- I'll teach him.

It has to be afraid of you,

of humans, doesn't it?

- Yes.

- Well, there you are.

- You heard me, put it back.

- No.

- He'll think you're his mother.

- He already thinks that.

- You'll get attached to it...

- I already am, and he is attached to me.

You heard me, put it back.

That's the end of it.

D*ckhead.

Take good care of yourself, little one.

Bye.

Wait a second.

Look at me.

Look at me.

You understand that it's

for your own good, don't you?

Well, do your best.

Score some goals.

See you tomorrow,

we'll do something fun.

I'm not talking to you anymore.

Jack.

Jack.

Jack...

You're still alive, little one.

I have a new place for you,

somewhere dad never goes.

But you have to be quiet

or dad will kill you, and me too.

So, quiet. Yes?

You must be hungry.

This is your new home.

Nice, isn't it?

Look at this.

Are you looking forward

to your birthday? I'm not telling you.

All right, it's black and it flaps about,

but that's all I'm saying.

Yes, it's great fun.

I'll make you a cake.

Daddy hasn't been angry, lately.

No, he's really kind.

Love you too, mum. Kisses, bye.

Look, first you look to the right

and then to the left.

First left, then to the right

and then to the left again.

So, left, right and left again.

Did you get that, little one?

Are you afraid?

Look, a dog. They're very dangerous.

Hello dad, how was work?

I was called up for nothing.

Excuse me.

Shall I bring you a beer

so you can have a rest?

Well, well.

- Thank you, what's going on?

- Nothing.

Jackdaws live in colonies.

The bravest male is the leader.

He gets the prettiest female

and the best spot to build a nest.
