Noisy little buggers. Our local pair just had a huge argument with a couple of magpies.

The jays always win. This turf war has been going on for months and the magpies always fly away in the end.

Ours aren't so noisy as there's a family of five carrion crows and and a family of four magpies that control our garden. So the Jays have to swoop in quietly if they want a nut.

About eight years ago a Jay would come in that could mimic a cats meow. He's sadly long gone now. He lost all of his head feathers, looked a bit like a vulture, then we soon never saw him again.

Bluejays are assholes, from my incredibly limited experience and virtually zero knowledge.

Now that's a confident statement.

I'd like to gobble monkeys nuts as well.
