It is always a delight to see Blue Jays on my bird feeders and they are plentiful this year. Blue Jays are larger than your common backyard birds and easily identified by their striking blue plumage with shades of black and white. These song birds can get really noisy and are known for being very intelligent . Blue Jays also have strong family ties and their social systems are quite complex.
Blue Jays love acorns but unfortunately I have no oak trees in my yard but that doesn’t stop them from making frequent trips to my large bird feeder just outside my window. Of course because of their size, they aren’t very steady on the edge of the bird feeder and have the tendency to eat and run. It takes a lot of patience and waiting around to get a good photo before they fly away.
These birds also hang out a lot in the trees and on the fence in my backyard where it is much easier to snap a picture of them. If you would like to attract more blue Jays to your backyard they prefer feeders that are attached to a post rather than the hanging ones. Bird baths are also needed as blue Jays love to take a drink after feeding.While they prefer acorns, they also love suet, sunflower seeds and peanuts.

Beautiful birds, you’re lucky to see them so close! Unfortunately, they don’t live in our area. We sometimes see Eurasian Jays in our yard, but this winter I didn’t see them on our bird feeders.
Thanks for reading. I enjoy seeing them very much
Blue jays are amazing birds. We don’t have them here, but we have Eurasian jays which are cool too.
There are some similarities between the Blue Jays and the Eurasian Jays and they are both beautiful birds.
A beautiful bird … unfortunately in our country we do not have these birds
Yes it is beautiful. I am sure you have different types of very nice birds too.
A beautiful bird, I just do not think it lives with us
Thanks for visiting, They are beautiful birds.
The ones here are not too trusting so they stay a safe distance but it is great to see them anyway.
thats really nice post 🙂
Thank you for visiting and reading the post
One of my favorites to see and hear. I watched two this morning in the bird bath. And they come to the deck and eat the peanuts I put out for them. Love the beautiful blue color.
Thank you. I have to be very quick with the camera as the ones here scare easily.
