These guys are eating me out of house and home ;) (Cyanocitta cristata)

Blue Jay

Blue Jays are known to take and eat eggs and nestlings of other birds, but we don’t know how common this is. In an extensive study of Blue Jay feeding habits, only 1% of jays had evidence of eggs or birds in their stomachs. Most of their diet was composed of insects and nuts and sunflower seeds.
