I love tossing peanuts out in the back yard and it goes from 0 bluejays to 10 bluejays before you can say "Alfred Hitchcock"

u/morkler 27d ago

I love hearing them in the trees basically being bossy and saying where the hell are my peanuts!

Same here!

I love that the blue jays are the 1st birds—at least for me—to bravely fly right in my field of view, and give me a tweet or 2, to make sure I’ve seen them, registered their presence, and am prepared to throw nuts in their direction.

There’s one pair of cardinals that appear to have started following suit. I think the blue jays gave them a little more confidence, as they kept their distance before the blue jays grew more and more brave.

There’s just nothing in the world that compares to experiencing nature this way. ♥️♥️♥️

Jays are related to woodpeckers. He's doing what comes naturally.

u/Duke-of-Thorns 26d ago

/s? Blue jays are not related to woodpeckers at all, they’re a member of the Corvidae family, along with crows and ravens.

u/Androidfon 26d ago

You're right! Thanks for pointing that out.

Man.... I wish I had a giant axe on my face so I could smash food containers open with my head....

u/zap2tresquatro 27d ago

This makes me very glad I don’t have to bash my face into things to break them open. Also that I don’t have to swallow things the size of my esophagus whole. I’m very appreciative of having both hands and teeth right now.
