My favorite thing about blue jays, they tell you when something is around. Police of the woods if you will.
How fitting since they have the uniform
Blue Jay is def my fave bird
Blue Jays chase after the hawks, did you guys know ?
They do???? I have 4 that I feed
True
When I was a little girl I spent my summer sitting in an almond tree that was always full of blue jays. They gave me such joy.
That sounds like my idea of Heaven
What awesome birds...i love their colours and sounds.
We love them so much we sit out on the deck with our coffee at almost any temperature just to be with them!
Love the jays! We have scrub jays here and they are loud, obnoxious, bossy and gosh I love them in the yard! They add so much fun and energy and keep the cats in order!
Haha. Jays are just freaking awesome :)
jays liven up the party(":
We have Western scrub jays (lower elevations) and Steller's jays (higher elevations) and I was taught to hate them because of their predatory natures. The same people who hate jays for predatory behavior respect and admire birds of prey for the same behaviors. I sense a double standard.
I watched a scrub jay haul off with a 2 foot long (albeit thin) garter snake from our garden. He had to pounce on it a few times to disable it, but eventually hauled it away to the nest.
OMG! It was so sweet watching them line up and take turns one by one getting their peanut from Lesley's hand!!!💚
I rescued a baby blue jay when she fell from a nest and was being attacked by other birds. Despite being left with one eye, she had about 15 great years with us as one of the family. So much of this is familiar and then some. And she was still able to catch thrown food quite well. Cheers, Leslie!
Aww what a sweetie and thanks for being so kind as to keep her
Nikolas James , was it living inside the house with you when she was life? I have a jay with us now and don't know should I let him go outside or stay inside.
@@patrickywong1286 She imprinted on us, because she was so young when we got her, and we did not want other birds to pick at her injury, so we had a large cage that we could move inside or out. When the cage was inside we would leave the door open so she could come out and visit us, and fly laps around the living room. She somehow felt our disappointment when she had a bathroom accident, and became paper trained herself. Later in life we would take her outside on our hands. Lots of attention--she was basically like a sibling. I don't know if any of this helps; It may be good to speak to a bird behavior specialist.
Nikolas James ,thank you. It's helpful.
@@LesleytheBirdNerd so 😎 that they catch peanuts
I love blue jays, too! One summer, with a light rain coming down, I observed blue jay parents teaching their young how to shake off the raindrops so they wouldn’t get water-logged. That’s a pretty important skill, especially if a quick get-away from a predator is needed. Jays are so smart and I just love their sassy attitude!
Haha. Jays are soooo sassy and I love their sass :)
@@LesleytheBirdNerd Have you ever seen a steller jay in person?
me to(":
@@LesleytheBirdNerd newfundland sounds like a beautiful place to be i live in new hampshire i never been there before but id like to go some time's(":
cool. mine's an asshole.
LESLEY YOU HAVE A BLESSED LIFE, BEAUTIFUL BIRDS THAT TRUST YOU, THEY ARE SO CLEVER, CONTINUED JOY WITH YOUR PRECIOUS ONES. 🐦C OZ
I Love all the Birds. Just hearing there Beautiful songs make me happy. I throw out peanuts every day for years and years. The Blue Jays dive down to get them . And yes they are funny. I watch the Robins walk around my yard all summer for worms. I hope one day I can get them to come to sit on my hand and trust me. I Love GODS creatures.
I love the blue jays that visit my yard. Sometimes I worry the neighbors do not appreciate how loud they are. But I don't care. They are wonderful creatures. Entertaining and beautiful. What I love most about them is watching their antics. They crack me up when their gullets are totally full and yet they try to get one more peanut. I miss them when they are not around.
Love love love, thank you.
I love Blue Jays! So intelligent & I love their calls. I used to have a lot of these birds as friends, like the fantastic Bird Nerd. Love you#
I meant love you & your Jays Lesley!! Wish I was there!
I really enjoyed this! I will never look at a blue jay the same... thank you!
I loved how they caught the peanuts!! Amazing!
I love how they mimic other birds. My buddy is always blown away when they trick him into thinking it’s an Osprey or something else. Love it!
They are hysterical!
Lesley that is the coolest, cutest Bluejay ever! We enjoy your bird buddies! Love all birds! You do a great job!
I had a Blue Jay fly through a window into my lab room. Most birds would have panicked and fly around the room banging into everything. I opened up the window very wide and the Jay looked and promptly flew out into the yard. Amazing!! Rick Z. from eastern Pa.
The beauty of the bluejay blows me away. And I love how they seem to interact with me. Although my jays are no where near as brave as your buddies, sometimes I think they come when I call to them that the peanuts are ready...
They are such characters! Although I do get the sense when they show up others birds go, "Oh, no. Not those guys!"
Same here! I have a special sound I make when putting out peanuts and many times they come swooping in when I come outside. They also frequently call me loudly and of course I have been trained to come running with peanuts ! So much fun !
I make a special treat to put out whole peanuts for my Jays while they watch in the trees then swoop in to pick one or two - these guys are awesome!
Love all birds, insects, animals, pants, flowers, trees.....Nature as a whole....THANK YOU GOD
I like that they keep coming back !
Gotta love all Blue Jays
You know a Blue Jay lover by how many peanuts you find in their pockets! 😁💙
The thumbnail for this story is awesome.
Haha. Thanks I rather like it too 😀
They are so beautiful I had no idea they were so amazing as well.
Love my Jays n Chickadee dees. The Blue jays always announce when I come out with fresh seed.
They are a coolness indeed. So are you! Such a pleasure! Thank you for everything.
Aww Thank you :D
I love the way the pop up the crest on their head
I guess my favorite part would be that your jays have learned their names and seem tamed to you. Feeding them from your hand is just so awesome!
I found your channel because two months after putting up a feeder and bird bath in my yard, my blue jays have completely won me over as my favorite birds.
I love my blue jays. One in particular really had me thinking that one of my resident red-shouldered hawks was very close by. I finally caught him at it, and now I've learned to distinguish between him and the real hawks, But a few weeks ago, he switched to the call of a red-tailed hawk, which also lives nearby! Keeps me on my toes!
I was lucky enough to have a Blue Jay nest on my back yard last year. Three babies sure kept the parents busy. I got pictures of the babies.
Thank you for sharing your wonder informative videos. I love the Blue Jay and all birds.
I love Bluejays!!! I have 7 at my backyard feeders!! I absolutely love watching them go after peanuts! They will try and put 2 shelled peanuts in their beaks at one time! My Cardinals, Morning Doves, Chickadees, etc fly away when my big Bluejays come around!! I have 9 feeders and they all pretty much are well behaved!!! I’m retired and love feeding and watching my birds!!! I watch them all day long and take really good care of them!!! Thank you for your video!!! You teach me a lot!
It's funny all my birds get along I have blue jays Cardinals doves you know they get kind of possessive but they don't get aggressive and I have a big bowl of water even in the coldest days I put warm water in it so it melts the ice so they all have something to drink from I think because I Supply them with enough food they don't get aggressive with it but my blue jays are very polite intolerant the dubs can get kind of pushy it's kind of funny
They are definitely some of the prettiest birds.
Your videos are magical. Thank you for sharing your passion with us!
once observed 5 just at dawn in our big tree carrying on without a clue of my presence. how gorgeous! iridescent shades of violet, blue, lavender, positively glowing! lovely chortling and chattering and so enlivening! they'd flit from branch to branch w/ lighting speed. so fast! graceful, svelte and energized! what enjoyment! could watch them for hours.... splendid creatures! : ) AWESOME!!
Thank you so much for a new perspective on this beautiful bird. I’ll be watching them in a new light.
I love these beautiful birds, they always make me smile. :)
I love Blue Jays personality’s! There is no other bird out there that are that funny and playful :)
all corvids (crows, ravens, jays, etc) are playful intelligent birds
I love blue Jays as well, they make me smile whenever I encounter one.
I had a blue Jay mimicking a cat calll!!! it was literally meowing....really amazing
I love blue Jay's. They are amazing to watch. But I have to say that all animals are just truly amazing. Thank God for these amazing creatures.
I just love all the Blue Jays shown! Your videos are captivating! ♡♡♡
The crow call at 5:30 was amazing! Didn't know they like messing with crows. Also some great antics near the end- too funny! BTW, that kind of crazy is the best kind. :^D Thanks for the video! Happy 2019!
I know hey. Quite the little mimics. I am so glad you enjoyed the bit at the end. Happy 2019 to you too :)
@@LesleytheBirdNerd I have red tail hawks in my neighborhood and it's so funny how the Blue Jays mimic them perfectly
@@cme1027 they are pretty good ☺
@@LesleytheBirdNerd I just had that happen to me a few minutes ago. I was sleeping in late, half dozing before getting up when I heard a red shouldered hawk calling outside my window. I jumped up all excited to see one close by. But when I peeked out the curtains there perched a blue jay. Not what I was expecting but it was awesome to see him make a few more calls before he took off toward my feeders. I see a red shouldered hawk named "Goose" just about every day going to work who is part of a bird show in Dollywood and have heard him calling multiple times. That jay nailed the call spot on.
@@Solitaire1 Too awesome.
I love blue jays too. I have 2 that come to my yard and I am fascinated with their behaviors as well as their beauty.
Your videos are always nice and calming added to educational. Thanks for posting.
Very cool with Jays.!!
The sunglasses on the Jay.. 😎😆😆😂😂👍🏼👍🏼
When walking in the woods, I like hearing the alert of my presence there, and then seemingly the blue jay will follow me to make sure that I'm no threat
Having gone to my daughters house for Christmas my Blue Jays were without peanuts for a few days.....first morning back they were looking in my front picture window and my back sliding glass door.....as if to confirm we were home and the Peanuts would be back......lol..........I love how they open there mouth to catch it from you......smart and beautiful birds
Gorgeous birds.
I love the way they catch the peanuts in the air! Great videos! Thanks
Blue Jay's love the colour and the information about the grey brilliant I have seen a Rook which showed a brilliant blue in the sun light this December. Thank you for this wanderfull imagines.
Spent many early mornings as a kid with my grandma watching the bluejays and other birds at the feeder just outside her dining room window.
Love the video as usual... and I'm still building up trust with 6 different blue jays living around my house by feeding the unsalted peanuts. It's fun watching these Lil guys go at it over peanuts I put out for them....anyways thanks again for the cool video
Love blue jays - great video thanks for sharing your story 🐦
I love watching them chase red tailed hawks. Blue jays always make me smile.
Well, I didn’t know they did al l that bobbing. In the ‘50’s it was called “bop” ha ha!
Thanks for another fun video!
I like how blue jays dive bomb cats and squirrels. Also, mockingbirds mimic other birds as well. I thought we had a red-tailed hawk, but I could never spot it. Then I found out it was coming from the mockingbird. They can have hundreds of songs as well. I guess I'm partial to mockingbirds since it's our state (Texas) birds. Love the videos!!
Mockingbirds are awesome. Would love to see one. How lucky of you to get to observe them :)
OhSoCheesy - I'm in Texas and love Mockingbirds (they are a close favorite to Blue Jays). One night *late) I heard a Blue Jay calls and Starling calls - turned out to be. Mockingbird. They are good imitators. It had to be a male as they will do various calls and sounds to attract a mate - can drive one almost crazy - all night long. - Stephanie
We had some awful neighbors and they used to yell and cuss a lot. We had a mocking bird that actually cussed. Prayed for the neighbors and they moved but I think the mocking bird stayed.
@@nancyfahey7518 wow I've never heard of cussing being in the mockingbird's repertoire. I've heard of domesticated birds such as parakeets learning those types of words because they're around them so much. I'm curious off they're still repeating those words or did they associate them with that family? Interesting anecdote. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your videos, Lesley! Blue Jays hold a special place in my heart! Walking home from the last day of 3rd Grade many years ago, I found a tiny fledgling at the base of a large tree. Being crazy about animals, I picked him up and loved him for the next 18 years! That tiny bird grew strong and blue and sassy on cottage cheese, sunflower seeds, small bugs and even mashed potato! What a wonderful pet T-Bird was.. going to countless "Show and Tell" and Vacation Bible School sessions. He refused to leave even tho he was given many chances to do so.. He loved his big, tall house with his own little bathtub on the top level. He'd often mimic the telephone to bring us all running, and would actually ride on the back of one of our pups. Bff's!!
Here was such an amazing little friend!!
Such beautiful birds!!! Another great video Lesley!
Thank you Matthew :)
I think they're just beautiful to look at ,,
I had the unexpected & wonderful pleasure of caring for a hatchling that had fallen from it's nest! I learned how amazing they are by watching my Edgar feed & finger train & spread his wings & fly off! I miss him like crazy but I feel as if he has been to visit but since he flew off before his colors & pattern truly developed I can only speculate! I am looking forward to working with my feather babies this season & hopefully can form a closer bond with them as u have! Thanks for sharing!
Liked the way they hop and especially in the long grass.
Just WOW! Thank you, Lesley!
I LOVE my jays
I think #1 is the best reason why they’re so cool!! And every other one of course!!! 💕❤️💕❤️💕😊
I just started feeding these guys and they are a BLAST to watch!! Quite possibly the most beautiful of all of God's birds!
I have been feeding the birds for years, and have come to know their calls. Blue Jays have so many, and I love hearing them when I come out to feed them. They are the first ones that greet me when I come out to my feeders. I hope one day, they will interact with me the way they do with you. Peace and blessings, and thank you for sharing your adventures!
I hope you gain their trust too. Offer them peanuts in the shell. That may help. ❤☺
I love you video! The color of the feathers was a surprise, very cool. The hopping and bobbing did crack me up. Thank you.
I Love Blue Jay's! I'm in Texas and see them alot.
Add to love those beautiful Blue Jays I have them at my feeder most days I wish they would let me hand feed them to maybe one day this video I really liked especially Catching those peanuts thank you so much for what you do these videos are amazing
I love your videos. Your relationship with your wild birds is amazing. Your cinematography is excellent as well.
Awesome video! They really are so smart
Thanks for checking it I'm glad you enjoyed the video. They certainly are smart 🐦🙂
Very 😎 video about blue jays!! My favourite thing about the blue Jay is their ability to imitate! I also liked #1, the silly things jays do!😍😘😘 🐦
Woooow what a beautiful birds Awesome Video 🙏👏🌷
Seagulls near the
Pacific North West also grab
food tossed up in the air. Most birds are quite intelligent.
THANK YOU for showcasing such cool birds 🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦
They're one of my favorite Birds!!!
Lesley, I agree with all your points. I also spend at least a couple of hours with them each morning for breakfast(and sometimes longer) and have come to love them so much. They make me happy! And they are soooooo smart! I love how your Jays catch peanuts in the air...I will have to try that with mine. Having said that, I have seen them dive-bomb a peanut that had fallen from their talons and catch it before it hit the ground. They are one of my favourites and the most awesome! Thanks for sharing your video. 💙
The tool use and mimicking is so amazing. You've observed so much and learned so much about birds. Thanks for sharing. Hermoso's mate rejecting the grass! LOL!
I have to agree, I enjoy the blue jays. I have, I think about 8 that come onto my deck every morning about 8am. If I don't have the peanuts out for them...they look into the slider door and yell. I have not tried to hand feed them yet. I agree that the colors look like stained glass. Thank you for sharing your beautiful bird videos.
LOL the yell at you that's funny 😁
Great video! My favorite part was how you throw the peanuts to them and they catch them effortlessly. I'm going to try that with the blue jays that come to my feeders. I really enjoy your channel and have learned a lot!
They know their names, for sure!❤
Thanks. Your video is beautiful and amazing.
Love all your work you do informing me about birding. I enjoy seeing them hop around on the ground when they're not flying.
Great videos. Thank you for sharing.
great video Lesley! Thank you for sharing the lovely Blue Jays with us.👍😎JP
Yep Blue Jays one of my favorites I think they fly really cool you have a unique way of cruising around and they're fast
I absolutely love the Blue Jays that come to the feeders I put out! At first they wouldn’t show themselves until I went back up on the porch! Now they will wait above me for their peanuts! They have brought me so much joy! I hope to gain their trust so that they will feed out of my hands! 😊🐦
Hallelujah, Merry Christmas, Peace be with you; Thank you for all your good works, God bless you...🙀😇🌲
so lovely...
Bluejays are my favorite bird.
Very cool. I have two little srubjays with pretty fabulous blue feathers. My charm of Magpies are "mag"nificent! I adore them!!
I started to have blue jays in my back yard this year, there is a whole family of them. They mimic the sounds of the red tailed hawks which is so cool!
Another great video! Blue Jays are also credited for helping spread oak trees after the last glacial period because of their fondness for acorns.
Love your blue jay video Leslie thanks for sharing!
LesleytheBirdNerd If you recognize the individual calls that Blue and Sweetgirl use for each other,
Then you're only crazy to think they don't know your individual calls for them!
You can bet they have a 'name' for you, and probably one for peanuts too.
All animals are much smarter than most folks can imagine, and some are brilliant!
Thanks for your wonderful videos. We love them. I share them on facebook often and my daughter tho miles away seems so much closer when she comments on the wonder and joy that they are too her as well.
You are Blessed and you are a Blessing.
Thank You
I like their color! It’s so pretty to me. I would love to watch the birds like you do esp on your island. I’m on an island but it’s far away. The island of Luzon in the Philippines. I love hearing the birds sing in the morning and even throughout the day . I am a Christian so when they sing in the morning I feel like they r praising God. God is so incredible to make birds so beautiful! Thank you for these videos. God bless you.
