I have these beautiful creatures here all the time , by the way the cardinal won that battle , they are one of the toughest birds in the Northeast , Blue Jay are strong , but Cardinal will not back down , they are like Honey badgers of the bird world . Cardinal are very territorial and if you are lucky to have them comfortable with you they will sing to you , but only if they like you , witch is not very often .

I’ve watched countless videos of them being bullied

[@timc333]

@@Austin.Kilgore If you are referring to Cardinals bring " them " then , Yes I have as well , yet here the blue jay's tend to keep a distance from the cardinal's when they do come together it is always the blue Jay who backs down . I have seen cardinal and robin go at it , but a lone robin doesn't fight with a cardinal either . only when there are several robin in the area will they ever challenge the cardinal's . Cardinal's are so territorial that they have been known to kill themselves crashing into windows because they see their reflection and think it's another cardinal . other birds just don't tend to mess with them often and not alone .

That male cardinal has entered full nesting mode. Jays eat their eggs/ chicks

[@ShaighJosephson]

Yeah, people don't realize how brutal Jays really are... They just see a "pretty bird" and that's it...

[@MyaYard]

Think they will ever learn to share?😂

[@ieblack37]

I love how even though smaller, cardinals are usually more aggressive and drive the large blue jay off.

[@pumabranco7684]

Where a beautiful birds 😊

[@sousyoku]

I first learned about the temperament of the blue jays by watching your video! But the Cardinal is as feisty a bird as it gets....🐈

Hello,great to see this fight and i think they won't hurt each other!!! Greetings Gijs

[@Agent_Ice0]

Thanks for the beautiful video. It's funny that Blue Jays get the rep for feeder bullies. I don't normally se my jays bully other birds. Here the cardinal is the one that decided to pick a fight. It made for an interesting ordeal though. 🐦

Courageous Cardinal 👍

[@PeriBumi1986]

Nice video..

[@deanevangelista6359]

I have a bird feeder camera, and a few things I’ve observed: Cardinals, blue jays and woodpeckers can be bullies. Robins and doves will patiently wait their turn at the feeder. Sparrows feed in groups. Chickadees stay only for a second or two. Squirrels are getting fat from birdseed.

Mordecai vs Margaret's dad (even though he was a human)

[@paulineb66]

Cardinals have more powerful seed cracking beaks. I think it’s an even match.

I wonder if this could be turned into a sport worth gambling over....

Blue Jays are visually stunning, but they are such jerks

[@ub6ilb975]

LOL Mean Ole Blue Jays!

[@Agent_Ice0]

The cardinal is the one that was aggressor. The jay was already there and eating. The cardinal lands and lunges at the jay to chase it off. The Jay decided he wasn't taking his crap. lol
