Blue
Jays
are
songbirds
found in woodlands and in residential areas that
have large oak trees. Their feathers are blue, white and black. Their
heads have a blue perky crest that becomes fully erect when they are
excited or aggressive. They
love
to
eat
peanuts and sunflower
seeds from tray
feeders
and
hopper
feeders. Another type of food that you can
provide them are suets, they love it! These
songbirds
have
a
large selection of noisy calls, which are used in
different situations. The (Jeers) call that sometimes sounds like
(Jaay) is used when they feel threatened by predators. The (bell) calls
are clear and serve as alarm or alert calls. The (Pump-Handle) calls
are used among themselves in proximity, especially during mate feeding
and nest building season. Finally the (Rattle) calls which are a series
of fast, raspy clicks, similar to a cat purring, are used by the female
when predators come close to the nest.
They are known for being curious and intelligent songbird species. They pay close attention to their surroundings, learning how to mimic human speeches and also how to imitate red-tailed hawk calls. They imitate hawk calls so perfect that it is difficult to tell which bird is singing. |
