5. Our house is the morning dove capitol of the neighborhood.

We've got a large garden, two bird baths, and high tension wires cutting through the property so they have plenty to eat, places to sleep, and water whenever they want it. We've had about a dozen blue birds all at once up on the wires. They use the perch to scout and then drop down to grab whatever it is they are grabbing. I speak fluent bluebird. It freaks them out. Usually we only get three or four at a time, but it's like their local pub.

Three feeders plus a heated birdbath outside.

Did you know that teenager blue jays help feed the baby chicks.

7. Um, dining room? And yes, bluejays are community birds, as are starlings.

But you REALLY don't want to piss off a bluejay or starling. They can be nasty!

I don't have a clue how he did the jelly bean thing. I watched that part six times and I still don't get how he did it.
