Blue Jays in my Orchid Garden
It was my Aunt Helen who first made me aware of blue jays. After my Uncle Paul had a stroke, and was left with limited mobility, she began to put peanuts under the awnings, of their home in Florida, for the blue jays to harvest – much to the delight of my Uncle, who spent endless hours watching the beautifully colored birds, swoop in for their supper!
“Let me take a look.”
“I see you.”
“But I am going in. . . “
” . . . and I am off.”
I have often heard people speak of the blue jays as being mean or too aggressive, I have not found them to be either, instead, I find them entirely entertaining and rather intelligent.
[…] Yesterday, I spotted a handsome Blue-Jay perched on the birdfeeder, and decided to put some peanuts out for it, as those are my Floridian Blue-Jay’s favorite treat. The squirrels quickly spotted the nuts, and began to hide them around the yard, which was a nice to see as the Blue-Jay’s eating them. http://thatisallfornow.com/?p=6754 […]
