My cat has brought us one of their young once or twice,still alive and we tried to nurse it but it died after a few days.

The Jays seem to be very protective of their young especially when they first come out of the nest and can't fly so well.

We had Black birds at our old house that would dive bomb every living thing in site,I tell you that was annoying and it hurt,because they would actually make contact with your head.LOL

Your right. They are so protective. Last year a Robin made a nest in an Arbor I have with roses. One of the little ones fell out. I read to try to put the little guy back into the nest. So I gave it a try. Returning parents started dive bombing me. I put the bird down, backed up and crouched down. I tried to tell them I was only trying to help but they still continued the attack. I could imagine how funny I looked. I was a little scared of them. LOL.

I could see them from my bedroom window. Here's a picture of Mama Robin in her nest from last year.

ROFL! Make the horrible mistake of actually GRABBING one.

I always loved nature, and thinking myself a clever child at the advanced age of 8, decided I was going to catch a BlueJay for a pet.

One day, I managed to do just that...and soon wished I hadn't!

It was just like wrapping your hands around a berserk nail-gun. :)
