I had a Scrub Jay that I made friends with, I’d share my lunch with him and he allowed me to hand-feed him and touch him. I gave him a cracker from between my teeth once. Sometimes he’d just come hang out with me when I was on a break and out at my car. I have pictures of it somewhere. They’re raucous and loud, but kind of fun sometimes.
Blue Jays and Scrub Jays are smarter than many people I run into. No joke. Smart, funny and they have real character.
I love those guys!
