Evolving connection to our local blue jays after 2 years of sharing peanuts them:

*When I see the jays in the morning, I lightly tap on the window just to let them know I see them

*Through the summer they would get near me and quietly chatter (not the ear busting blue jay shriek) just to let me know they are there and they wouldn’t mind at all if I gave them peanuts.

*The feeder was taken down for a few days recently because the Sky Jerks™ (magpies) have been aggressively knocking it off the window while trying to get peanuts.

*Just now… heard the quiet light tapping pattern that *I* use to acknowledge *them* (jays)… oh hello!

Their message was pretty clear this morning - “Good morning human. Peanuts would be nice”.

Just wanted to share the cool experience I had with the jays this morning.

I just had a scare. I went outside to try and see where this Possum went. As I was walking back i heard wings and something landed on my back. I screamed and it flew to the tree. I could not see it. How did I get landed on? #Birds #Birdstory #fright
