Stink'in Blue Jays.... filled the bird feeders on Friday night with black sunflower seeds, and they scooped it all out onto the ground to feed the squirrels  :doah:

I've got 15 to 30 Jay's here at a time, noisy bastards, and the piggiest bird there are....  :bonk:

I'm thinking of cutting down to just suit and thistle to hope they go away.  :scratch:

I've got 2 squirrel proof feeders the jays really don't care for. One has the tension set light enough so it closes the tray when something that heavy lands on it. Keeps large groups of sparrows from dicking with it. They have to feed singly or it closes on them too. Squirrel proof it is not as they can hang by their toenails and feed from it. A plastic baffle would probably cure that, for a while, maybe. The other feeder is a roller feeder that the big fat fox squirrels haven't figured out and the blue jays are too big to access it easily. Chipmunks and deer mice get in it occasionally tho. Sparrows have adapted to it better than I would like. :huh:

They're the woodland alarm system. I used to hate 'em when out bunny or squirrel hunting; they'd sound the alarm for the entire woods to hear.  :angry:

Bluejays must be raiding the Robin nests here. I.m seeing the remnants of eggs around the yard.

I always thought a suppressed .22 with subsonic ammo would be just the thing to have around the house for such occasions.
