Rush hour for Northern Blue Jays.

You're lucky if you see these birds in the city; they're extremely wild and prefer secluded coniferous forests. Around here it's easily a hundred of them daily and even more during Winter Seasons, when the food is scarce.

If you wish to attract them to your feeding stations well it's quite easy. They're part of the Corvidae family so are very intelligent and omnivorous. They eat practically anything and sometimes they even steal Raven's food (meat & eggshell). But what's best and less expensive is black oil sunflower seeds and unshelled peanuts, which they really adore.

But these guys come with a price. They are beautiful but very territorial, extremely aggressive (Borderline Psycho) and will scare away birds from their own size down to smaller ones.
