I feed birds and have do so for a couple years, and yesterday sitting and watching them out the window I seen a Blue Jay get one of the finches and kill it. I could not believe it.Then the Blue Jay took the dead little bird and fly into my cedar tree out side my window. I dont know why he did that I have never seen a Blue Jay do such a thing, it shocked me.

I have sparrow boxes on my deck and I have twice witnessed a blue jay stealing baby sparrows and eating them. I realize it’s all part of nature but was shocked anyway.

The nice thing about killing bluejays is that when you shoot one off the fence others keep comming to see why joe dropped dead and to bitch. Soon you will have a pile of dead bluejays, a dozen easy, and use a BB or pelet gun.

Even though that bird is blue, it does not mean that it’s a blue jay. That does not look like a blue jay to me. Nice job capturing video footage though.

I have seen a Blue Jay eating dead chipmunks in the road on 4-5 occasions for about 3 weeks now…I thought it was just one rogue meat eater!!! I always knew they were nasty little suckers, but had no idea they were carnivores!!!

I saw one catch a small mouse or a vole in my flower garden, drop it and come back a minute later and fly off.

Its only a matter of time before they get the taste for human flesh.
