Blue Jay Meets Banana - Makes Monkey Sounds

Blue Jay gets very excited upon seeing a ripe banana for the first time making a variety of calls including a pretty good monkey impersonation. I've heard that call before, but never so close and on film. At first the Jay picks at the seeds and is unsure it likes the actual banana, but within a few minutes its feasting on it.

That was a very vocal Blue Jay. It really loved that banana. Who knew they loved bananas so much.

[@p00pie]

I know 🤣

[@Superkuh2]

I don't think the Blue Jay knew either till it accidentally ate bits of it while grabbing the seeds. It seemed to grow on it till it really dug in to the banana proper at the end.

[@dime_nail]

I love blue jays, so much fun, especially when they trust you. They put peanuts in my neighbors gutters.

[@Kleaz80]

It’s like he was calling other animals to come get some before he eats it all 😂

[@Nighthawke70]

I never heard a jay make a warbling sound like that before. The rest, yeah I have. Territorial calls, and maybe a mating song or two. This fellow is very talented and has taken a fancy to more than a few songs in his life.

[@marksymbala1193]

I've never heard them make those noises

[@matthewtrebs9738]

Blue jays are great at making a wide variety of sounds and theyre very smart. If they know what a hawk sounds like and there are other songbirds near a feeding spot, theyll mimic the hawk to scare off the songbirds so they can get the meal to themselves!

[@TheOnlyLacyLavender1]

[@AintYoHood]

Been feeding blue Jays in my backyard for 2 years. It started with 2 blue Jays. About a year in, a third one showed up but he was much smaller. When feeding them , the bigger one eats first. On a few occasions, the smaller of the 3 tried eating but quickly got pecked by the bigger one . I feed them peanuts, the bigger one learned to take 2 peanuts at a time, he will put on down in his throat and pick up a second one. When I leave multiple peanuts for him , he always weigh them and leaves with the biggest. They are peanuts in shell, ranging from 1 to 3 in the same shell , he will always pick up the biggest amount possible , either 2x2 or 1+3. They're incredibly intelligent and recognizes my family members, even my dog. Recently, 5 showed up. I have a feeling they're from the same family. Edit : Doing this attracted a squirrel I named Gary. Gary is a female ( named her before we became friends), cool little friend. He built his nest in my tree , I see him multiple times a day , he got 2 kids and a mate, we named Barry ( refencere to garry ). I hand feed garry , and one day, i thought it was him, but then Gary bit me. Lil guy was hooked to my finger, I bled and laughed it off.

[@MyBackyardBirding]

Blue Jays and squirrels are a blast to have around - sounds like fun. You have to hand feed the squirrels the longest peanuts and hold them lightly by the very end so they don't accidentally bite you. they don't see very well up close and eyes are on the side of the head. Have fun! BB
