beautiful blue jays



           many blue jays call the trees 
                                 around my neighborhood home
                 yes, they can be found in forests
  but, nowadays in residential areas they reside
          I love their blue colors
                    both male and female are almost the same
             I cram my bird feeder with seeds, peanuts, and berries
did you realize that though delightful they can be aggressive
                noisy     gregarious    curious    bold
     they are intelligent and can mimic other bird calls
           when threatened they scream comparable to a crow
                  and they talk to each other with sweet tweets
             their nests are cup-shaped  and made of
        twigs    roots    bark    moss    plants    feathers    mud
                            safe     high up in trees they lay eggs
                 and the babies stay with the parents 
                                          for one to two months
                             then, leave one by one . . .
