@@LesleytheBirdNerd - I was diagnosed with Parkinson's this winter, and it's bad. Last week, the Chickadees were there in my yard like normal, and I said "are you here to help me?" They flew all around while I accomplished the small amount of grafting and propagation I'm still able to do. They *were* there to help me....

Oh Leslie. So good to see this nest being built, the babies growing strong then flying off. Once a bird watcher always a bird watcher. I love watching my birds and my view is from my backyard where I have to put food down at least once a day. I am enjoying two pair of quail that have decided it's ok to be in my yard. I have worked hard to encourage them and get the chickadees and goldfinches in here too. My favorite bird is the mourning dove. I named my house after them. The pigeons and Eurasians have pushed them out though. I still get a fair amount during the winter and even less the rest of the year. There is no pushing the pigeons out. I don't allow the magpies, but I can't move those pigeons for the life of me. It is so fun to share this great experience with others who appreciate this delicate and very amazing world.

Hi. Im so glad i found this group! I was looking for help with a blue jay issue. We've had a pair in our yard for 2 yrs. The other night, something attacked a nest they had. We found 2 babies in the driveway and heard one of the adults screaming. We put the babies in the catio for the night, making sure our cat had no access. We opened the door to the catio early in the morning because the mother was circling around the area. She went in and fed them many times during the day. It was amazing to watch! The babies hopped around in the catio and even flew from cat perch to cat perch. They climbed the screen but never realized the door was open. We checked on them all day long. So did the mother Blue Jay as she went in and out. It got dark, and we decided to close the catio door for the night so the babies were safe from whatever predator attacked the family, only to find them gone! My first question is, could they have flown out to join the mother? My second and most important question is what will the female do without her mate? She's been around today taking peanuts from the porch railing. That's always where we fed both adults. He's obviously gone. Will she survive without him? Will she seek another mate? Will she leave the area?
@nancye75206 ай бұрын
Only my two cents but your babies were probably ok if you didn’t see a bunch of feathers everywhere in the catio. Just found a spot they could fit through and flew off early in the morning. ❤

Miraculous and beautiful. I remember watching one of your earlier videos where you said that a chickadee says, "Cheeseburger." I thought, man, Lesley is high; they are clearly saying "He who..."--two syllables, not three! But then I started listening, and sure enough, they often are dividing the second tone into two distinct notes! Of course, they have mastered a variety of calls. My young friend Reuben claims they are saying their name in one of them: "Chicka chicka DEE DEE DEE DEE."
