[quote:Tangwystyl:MV81MDQ4NjRfNzc3NzEyNV9DQTRBNEQyNQ==] This happened to me back in 1980... It was during a weeks stay in Yosemite. It was the oddest thing, this bluejay would fly down and sit on my shoulder when we sat on the porch of the cabin!! I've always had a way with animals, and eventually went into veterinary medicine. But I still think back to it as being so odd. I was 15 at the time. Granny has pictures of him on my shoulder, but she keeps her pictures in boxes, not albums. I am going over there today to do her pills, I will see if I can find one. I don't know why this one was so friendly. Maybe from years of visitors feeding it? No idea.. It was really cool though. :) [/quote]

There's this wild Blue Jay my mother trained to eat out of her hand. It will fly down and grab peanuts from my hand also. One time it came 48 times in a row within an hour's time, grabbing peanuts out of my hand, burying them, and returning for more. I've not heard of anyone else making a pet out of a wild Blue Jay and was wondering if anyone else here has done so. This Blue Jay has been around for about 8 years. It really loves my mother and will just stay on her hand for several minutes and will look into her face as though it is trying to communicate. We have it on video also.
