Do Jackdaws Nest in Planes?

While we waited and waited to be allowed onto our plane at Schiphol, this jackdaw caught my eye. It was waiting to get up the stairs ...



It tried several times, flying up to peer inside the aircraft door. 




Each time, someone came out and it flew off.  Its mate was sitting watching from the roof over our heads.... the bird had about three or four goes trying to get into the plane. Each time it was shooed away.  Then waited and tried again.  Sorry the pictures are not terribly good - snatched on my phone.   A few seconds later, we were all allowed outside, so the birds flew away.   But is this a well-known thing?  An amazing bit of wildlife... a mystery.
