we raised a blue jay in Jacksonville when I was a little kid and released him back into the wild when he became old enough. the smartest bird I ever saw as he was always able to escape his cage.
@calleyne90 Humans are even more disgusting, when you think about it. Most people aren't a pretty sight, and a lot of them smell. (Kids are the worst... they pick their noses and eat the boogers, stick their hands in their pants and fondle themselves, and then don't wash their hands.)
And speaking of shit, consider the socially-accepted way we clean ourselves after taking a dump. If you had shit on your fingers, would you use dry tissue paper to wipe them off (instead of soap/water?)
@calleyne90. What's a piece of shit? Me saying I wish that we had birds as lovely as that or that these kinds of birds are a piece of shit? Surely you can't be saying I am over my small comment. That's just mean.
I know this video is old, but how did y'all get the blue jay to trust y'all that much? I've always wanted to have a wild bird friend and any tips would be awesome! :D
I would not have believed it if I did not see it with my own eyes. The jays in Texas are bolder than most birds but are full of caution too. I set out some water for them in this terrible drought and they would come by but won't even consider letting me get close. I am lucky if they let me watch them drink.
this is scary, funny, cute, and creepy at the same time I dont see how a bird could put so much trust in a person that is not like them. I guess it is true opposites do attract! but this is creeping me out!
are you guys crazy she obessly raised this bird and released it and the bird came back because their was thunder good job momma he new where to find the one he could trust xoxoxo having rasied a bird sue
Cute, I guess. But my grandmother hated blue jays and so I hate them too. I mean, I'd never hurt one or anything, but they're pretty aggressive, mean-spirited birds. We'd always watch the cardinals in my grandmom's yard, and so many times, the blue jays would steal food from the cardinals, chase them off, ruin their nests, and just make life miserable for them. I love cardinals, but blue jays...not so much.
It didn't look like a "she" to me it had full colouring and markings and seemed think you were into it/him by doing kissing gestures.. feeding is a bird way of saying "I love you" to another bird( or other person) lol or it was hungry ir thought you were attractive lol.
Wow how is that even possible? She had zero fear of you guys. Very amazing. Jays are in the same family as crows right? Or something like that. Smart birds!
I have a pet Bluejay. We raised him from a baby after we found him on the ground after a storm. If we had left him outside on the ground he would have for sure been killed by all the cats around. We have now had him for 8 yrs. He lives in a big cage in our kitchen right in front of a big window. He gets only the best of everything to eat. And our indoor cats lay up on top of his cage and he thinks they are his best buddies.
I raised a blue jay from when it accidentally fell out of the nest. I planned on letting it go but unfortunately my mom got way too attached. He does the same thing :)
I love it when birds come to me. It's so unpredictable.
I never had a blue jay visit me. It's so cute. The bird loves you. Some people told me that birds only come to the pure heart and if your a good person.
These little chickadee birds love me, they swarm me but don't hurt me when I go to the mountain. I wonder if they know my last name is Chickee & are impressed with that. lol
I don't know but I feel warm fuzzy goodness and love with the animals do come to me.
Neat! I am not going to ask how this is possible because some animals do this to certain people (regardless of a coaxing method). I just have to say that you must be a good person.
That is awesome! I love Blue Jays and feed them peanuts every day. I wish I could get one to land on my shoulder. They are not mean, just very territorial and protective of their nests. Great video here.
I work at a walmart standing out infront of the tire bays writing up cars but when it gets slow im knows for the 3 blue jay family that will come right up to my feet, but nothing like this
This is a REMARKABLY video!!! However...Not uncommon. I've been in the avian field, for many years now, and have always been amazed by the intelligence of these birds. Jays are in the "Corvid" family, being cousins to; Ravens, Crows, & Magpies. There larger cousins, the Crows & Ravens, are noted for there high intelligence, and rivialing parrots in there ability to be taught things. However...This bird became extra friendly, its rare but it can happen. So consider yourselves very lucky.......:)
@tomtalker2000 That was like when I was back in college, I made friends with two ravens. I nicknamed them Huginn and Muninn and fed them french fries at lunchtime. They always would come right up to me then.
@tomtalker2000 A family of barn swallows come to my parents house every year, to the same nest. They used to be afraid of us, but after we protected them over the years they have turned friendly. It's to the point where if you hold out a fly, they'll land somewhere within reach and let you feed them (they wont perch on our shoulders yet).
how do you get a blue jay to sit on your shoulder
