This channel is for everyone who loves animals or just wants to see what they are up to. I live in Southern Ontario, Canada and a lot of my videos may be about our pet bunny, Thumper. We affectionately call him Tumpy. I love to travel and try to film animals from all my adventures, like scuba diving and hiking. Therefore, I will also show animals on land, below water, and in the air. Please enjoy! @animlasforeveryone Editing and uploading credits go to my kids!
I got a pair of Scrub Jay's in my backyard that I have recently started feeding. I usually play scrub Jay calls from yt to draw them in, but stopped because I thought maybe it would stress them. So now I whistle, tho that doesn't work so often
Why do blue jays prefer peanuts in the shell more than out of the shell? Also people should know salted peanuts are bad for blue jays because they’re digestive system doesn’t metabolize salt in this form well. Not sure about other birds.
I made a squirrel feeder, for peanuts, and the blue jays quickly caught on. I saw one actually eating a peanut the other day. They hold it with their feet and poke at it with their beak, like a woodpecker. When they finally get a hole big enough, they pull out a nut, then they put the nut under their feet and poke at it, like a woodpecker. The only thing is, they don't understand that a peanut usually has 2 nuts in it. Until I saw a blue jay eat a peanut, I didn't understand why there were so many peanuts on the ground half eaten.
I’ve got several jays that hang around my yard and when they find the peanuts, I put out for them, they are so smart they pick them up to compare the weight before they decide which peanut to take. Amazing!
I remember a few years back, I bought a couple bags of peanuts and went out back and threw them on the ground and came back inside. The ground turned blue. It was awesome!
I live in AZ and we have scrub Jay's and stellar Jay's. The mannerisms are exactly the same with peanuts. They shake to hear if there are p nuts in them and stash in surrounding trees.
