It finally happened.
It finally happened.
4 years with this flock. I don't push it with physical contact. But today "filthy phil" decided to patronize the idiot pretending to be a tree. To my utter delight.

I love blue jays. What a special moment!

As someone cultivating a relationship to crows and ravens, I feel visceral joy for you!

The crows out here are very wary of humans. We leave them peanuts way up on top of an outbuilding, but they won't come any closer.

That's awesome! I have a pair (Bluejay and Twojay) who have started regularly visiting my feeder this year. They're out there as much as the sparrows and chickadees at this point. They now just chill right above me and wait (relatively) patiently for me to fill the feeder and the bird bath. I haven't tried to get them to land on me yet, but the chickadees are close. I also saw a boreal chickadee for the first time yesterday evening. Cute as a goddamn button and makes a sound like an infant black capped with emphysema.

This sounds lovely.

Bo7a is going to be whisked away to a lesson on history, and experience terrible things. Nothing good comes from encountering a blue jay.

I am absolutely jealous. Good job.

"Habibi, I've come to bargain"

That's so cool! How did it feel with the jay's feet clinging to your fingers?
-
It was surprisingly a very soft touch. Not rough and tight.
And he was much lighter than I imagined.

Congratulations on your step to becoming a Disney princess.
I am the hairiest and bikeriest disney princess for sure. Depending on the time of year my morning welcome committee is ~80 blue jays, 60 grackles and blackbirds, a handful of chipmunks, some marmots, rabbits, and 5 or 6 'named' squirrels. The mammals have almost always been sociable and able to be fed by hand, especially the chipmunks, but the birds have always maintained their space. The newest set of babies is the first to let us hang out with them while they eat. And now this...
The thousands of pounds of peanuts, scratch feed, sunflowers, and suet, over the years have finally paid off.
