    The blue jays who visit my back yard have been getting a lot of peanuts thanks to you, Lesley. :D They aren't catching them in mid-air or eating from my hand, but whenever they see me out on my deck they'll either perch in a nearby tree where I can see them or land on the deck railing. When I throw a peanut for them, they'll watch until it hits the ground, drop down, pick it up, then fly away with their prize. Sometimes they don't fly far, so I get to hear them in the tree trying to crack open the shell.

    Wonderful video, I had a pet European Jay ( rescued as a chick from a cat and hand reared ) for nearly seven years, she was incredibly tame intelligent mischievous and beautiful. She’d chuckle, flap her wings and raise her crest whenever she saw me each morning and she’d accompany me on my paper round and was well known in the area. She was free flying and only locked in at night and after a bath ( she’d bathe till she was soaked and couldn’t fly till she dried off ) for her safety. She’d disappear for the same 3 weeks every year ( I assumed it to be the breeding period ) but always returned, thin and exhausted but happy. That was 30+ years ago and I still miss her today. 👍❤️

My blue jays seem to come for any type of nut I’ve put out for the squirrels. I had to move my feeding area away from the house, so they take the peanuts into the wood beyond my fence, instead of into the trees around my patio 😢 I used to love to watch them cracking open the peanuts just a couple of meters from me.

    We had two blue jay friends when we lived downtown; Fluffy and Zippy. Yes, Fluffy just loved to fluff up when dropping by, and was very people-friendly to us, taking peanuts from my hand. Zippy was smaller, and I'm thinking "the less gregarious mate". Over 5 years, I learned a lot from them, and one time, Fluffy came in the house! I shut doors, opened one window for light, and sure enough, Fluffy flew towards the light and all good. :) At the new place (3+ years), there's a family of 3. One is HUGE, and has a very pronounced "EE-OO" sound, as I call it. We're making friends, but it takes a while - jays are very cautious. Thanks so much for sharing your bird lore and adventures. xx from Nova Scotia

    I’ve got a family of blue jays that I’ve been feeding peanuts to. I note recognize the adults, and the male is more trusting than the female. He will grab the peanuts from the table with me about 5 feet away. She usually needs me to be further away. It’s pretty cool to recognize them - I don’t think I would have been able to without seeing your videos Leslie. They best parts were when the fledgelings were basically fully grown, but still begging for food. Feeder is right above them, and their squawking at moon and dad, who fly up 2 feet, grab a seed or whatever and feed it to them. Haven’t gotten them to take from my hand yet. Blue is pretty awesome.

    I've got a family of 5-6 blue jays that are in my yard every day and I put out peanuts for them on my deck. Now that its summer I hang out longer to see who shows up. I don't know them by their markings yet, but I've notice that one of them will pick up several peanuts before he or she chooses which one they want, every time. And another seems very interested in me, in that he or she (I think a she but not sure) will often perch closer to me than the nuts are and look at me, and will also fly very close to my head on her hiding dashes or on the way back. I'm hoping that this is a start! Today the first jay to get to the peanuts looked very nervous about seeing me and took a while to finally take one quickly so I'm sure that's yet another one.
