What bird?

Liamario

Three of these poor things (dead) found in my brother's shed-


Any idea of species?

OpenYourEyes

I'd say possibly Blackbird, or possibly a crow species of some sort? Details of the nest?

No sign of an obvious nest or even leftovers of a damaged nest, its an open front shed. There were three dead chicks in total

Were they in a corner of the shed? Starlings often nest in cavities in the corners of houses and sheds. Looks big for a Starling, but kind of hard to tell. Any idea of what birds usually hang out on top of the shed or anything like that?

My money is on this. I haven't been able to find picks of blackbird chicks with yellow beaks. Jackdaw fits the bill (pardon the pun) on all pictures i've seen.
