This is the sort of story we like to hear about in the midst of the period the press refer to as ’silly season’.

Jack the crow eats dog treats, jumps up on his owner’s lap and has even started attacking the postman.

He was taken in by the Notaro-Livingstones after they found him outside his nest and unable to fend for himself while out fishing.

Small and vulnerable, he could not even lift his own head and needed close care.

But ten weeks later he is showing no sign of wanting to leave his new home, and has started adopting the habits of the five dogs in the household.

“Whenever we get in the car, he jumps in too because he wants to come with us,” said 12-year-old Cheryl Notaro-Livingstone, from Huntsworth, Somerset.

“And when mum comes back, he jumps on her lap like an excitable puppy.

“He is stubborn but really thinks he is part of the family.”

Jack is free to come and go as he pleases and often disappears for a day, but returns home to hop around the worktops and drink from the kitchen sink.

He also steals dog treats from the bowls of his canine companions.

Joe Notaro-Livingstone, 11, who discovered Jack, said: “I brought him home and we looked after him now he thinks he’s a dog and he tries to protect us – he even jumps on the postman’s head.”
