Congratulations on your step to becoming a Disney princess.

That's how you catch corvid.
I love blue jays. What a special moment!
As someone cultivating a relationship to crows and ravens, I feel visceral joy for you!
I remember the time when I was walking within the parking lot at my office and I saw a little canary like bird standing in one of the guard rails. It was looking at me as I slowly approached and it started tweeting instead of retreating. I moved one of my hands slowly towards it, very slowly to avoid startling it and I managed to rub the feathers of its chest for at least five seconds before it flew away. It was quite surreal. I've never pet a bird that wasn't in a cage before like that
That's awesome! I have a pair (Bluejay and Twojay) who have started regularly visiting my feeder this year. They're out there as much as the sparrows and chickadees at this point. They now just chill right above me and wait (relatively) patiently for me to fill the feeder and the bird bath. I haven't tried to get them to land on me yet, but the chickadees are close. I also saw a boreal chickadee for the first time yesterday evening. Cute as a goddamn button and makes a sound like an infant black capped with emphysema.
This is quality content
One time I posted a pic like this on my Instagram and everyone was having a go at me for feeding wildlife
That's so cool! How did it feel with the jay's feet clinging to your fingers?
Bo7a is going to be whisked away to a lesson on history, and experience terrible things. Nothing good comes from encountering a blue jay.
