- I have still found that, IN GENERAL, blue jays are very timid. They will
- not come to a feeder if they think they see you moving inside the house.

- Well... I have begun a new relationship with a Scrub Jay (I may have
- mentioned this). He swoops from anywhere to take peanuts directly from my
- outstreched hand - even when my cat's sleeping in my lap!! He trained
- himself to me; he started doing this on only our second meeting.

- But he knows where my bedroom is. He'll sit on the roof and (thusfar anyway,
- knock wood) quietly lean his head over the gutter and spy on me! Once I
- stood up and he saw me getting out of bed and flew to the back porch. Oddly
- enough, I think I like this!
