I have a flock of around 50 Blue Jays that have been wintering at my house for 6 years now (since I started their feeding routine). I feed them peanuts in a shell. Every morning I stand outside- rain, snow, below freezing (I live in Maine) and yell to them. They all come flying in from the field, it's pretty amazing to see- like something out of a movie! They perch up in their tree and wait for me to throw them out a peanut. They actually LOVE this game because there can be peanuts on the ground, but they still wait for me to throw one to them! I've been miles from my house in the woods and had a Blue Jay fly up to me for a peanut. They're extremely smart and so funny to watch! When I first started feeding them I had one with a beak deformity, so I could easily tell him from the rest. His name was Long Beak. He liked me to crack his peanut out of the shell, skin on the peanut, and he would drop down right next to me for his treat. When Long Beak returned the second year, I was so happy I literally cried. I loved that bird. He had a special call he'd do when he saw me- he'd start barking like a seal! He returned for 4 years and passed away after a severe ice storm. It's amazing how attached you can get to a wild animal who's only bond to you is food related lol. My Blue Jays bring me a ton of joy. They are a misunderstood bird who many consider "bullies". I make sure to provide areas for my little birds to eat too and everyone is happy! I spend around $100 a week on freaking peanuts in the winter but to be running a chainsaw and have a Blue Jay land next your feet, wanting food, shows the trust you've been able to build and is worth it to me anyway! Luckily my husband is supportive of my hobby too 😁

Beautiful creatures. I have two visiting my backyard every weekend. They visit right after I wake up and I give them peanuts. They have been visiting for almost 5 years. I am fearful that the damn neighbor's cats eat these beautiful birds. I always try to scare off the cat so that he can avoid the backyard. Also my narcissistic parents hate birds and they cut down the tree that provides protection and have moved all the sharp rocks and cat stopper mats near the trees as precaution so the cats do not jump from the other side. I am getting sicker in a sick household and narcissistic parents always protect the neighbors who I know are doing harmful things to me to even harm these bluejays. The reason being is that they saw me feeding birds once and they started releasing their cats to jump next door to eat all the birds, which bring peace on my weekend mornings. Hope I overcome this dark energy. I know these bluejays are telling me something and hence why they showed up as if they are my spirit animals to ward off the dark energy that has perturbed my mind and peace.

[@Nobody-s824]

I had a blue jay friend that would visit to get in shell peanuts. He/She would pick up different ones, "weigh" each by bobbing their head up and down a little. And then pick whatever one seemed the best. They also make a sound I call "squeaky door" bc that's what it reminds me of! The one that visited me wasn't phased by other birds or squirrels going at the seed and peanuts at the same time. Such beautiful and smart birds!

On another note, one summer I watched an ongoing bluejay/cardinal turf war that lasted a few weeks. It finally ended when a nest plundering squirrel came along.

[@beebop9808]

They're trouble makers. lol That's interesting your take on their mimicking hawks. I used to have a large hawk population around and not so many Jays. But then a couple of years ago the hawks moved away and more Jays came around. I also started keeping chickens about the same time. That was the first time I noticed the Jays using hawk calls. They would use the calls to spook my birds and swoop in to cash in on their food. The chickens soon learned the game and apparently can tell the difference between the Jays and the real thing. I sure can't to this day. My birds don't mind sharing with the Jays so they get along better these days. But I noticed the Jays using the calls more often in the surrounding area and recently came to the same conclusion about them possibly faking out the hawks in thinking the area occupied? At the same time however, I also noticed the hawks aren't to keen on tangling with my many roosters. So maybe a little of both but hawks are few around here now except for high observation flights or an occasional swoop through just to razz up the chickens I think? Whatever the case I'm happy to have the Jays around. They have never been big on visiting my feeders but they do like to pick up some of the stuff I throw out for the chickens.

Had a fledgling once fall onto the ground and wasn't able to get back up; the parents and the other offspring were on the lowest branch about ' up calling for him. I scooped him up and lifted him back into the tree. At one point, a squirrel was born who had motor skill issues; he could often grab a peanut and eat it, but he dropped a lot of them as he was removing them from the shell. This one young jay followed him around, and grabbed the ones he dropped1

I live in New Mexico, and we have Scrub Jays everywhere. We rarely see Steller Jays. The Scrub Jays like to nest in the scrub oak that proliferates here. Yes, they much prefer peanuts to anything else but are relatively polite when it comes to snatching peanuts from the feeder. They will actually take turns and rarely get into squabbles with other jays. As the narrator noted, they are aggressive with other birds and for years would scare off smaller birds desirous of eating seeds from the same feeders. We noticed, though, that the woodpeckers we have around here, not interested in peanuts previously, decided they, too, love them. Then the bird wars began. Surprisingly, the woodpeckers have proven to be more aggressive than the jays and will drive them off. Also, the woodpeckers are meaner and will fight with each other. They are not polite at all and will land on a feeder and spend several minutes issuing challenges for anyone wanting to try to get a peanut. We placed a feeder a few yards from the first one hoping that would provide another source of food for the jays they could exploit without having to deal with the woodpeckers, but the woodpeckers only began patrolling both feeders.

[@markpell8979]

I live in N. TX where Blue Jays are common. They are quite social among themselves and organize to become bullies toward other birds in their home territory. I've noticed that when their roving gangs have at least three members they become hostile toward other birds and seem to make trouble with them just for fun and meanness as much as for practical reasons. In groups of two they are quieter and behave much better toward other birds. That third bird joining turns them into real a-holes acting together to rule the territory but you rarely see more than four in a group, probably because they don't even like each other and band together just for numerical advantage. It is clear too that once organized, they have a designated leader or chief a-hole. When the roving gang of three or maybe four Jays invades, other songbirds will align with each other, even across different species, to stand their ground and protect territory. These impromptu defense militias usually seem to be led by Cardinals and Robins, which are not scared to wade into a fight. Too bad Blue Jays are such jerks because they really are beautiful.

I am fearful that the damn neighbor's cats eat these beautiful birds. I always try to scare off the cat so that he can avoid the backyard. Also my narcissistic parents hate birds and they cut down the tree that provides protection and have moved all the sharp rocks and cat stopper mats near the trees as precaution so the cats do not jump from the other side. I am getting sicker in a sick household and narcissistic parents always protect the neighbors who I know are doing harmful things to me to even harm these bluejays. The reason being is that they saw me feeding birds once and they started releasing their cats to jump next door to eat all the birds, which bring peace on my weekend mornings. Hope I overcome this dark energy. I know these bluejays are telling me something and hence why they showed up as if they are my spirit animals to ward off the dark energy that has perturbed my mind and peace.

Mostly blue jays work at a park with a raccoon being bossed around by a gumball machine
