A Bard Owl, if you want call it a bond. I have been going to a 400 acre pond in Hamilton County, FL since 95. Back in 90s there was a Bard Owl that we could feed minnows to from the casting net. It would come and sit on a low limb and we would display the minnow and lay it down by the bucket. The owl would fly over an pick it up at our feet. Eventually, after a year or so, it would sit in the deck handrail about 3 feet from us while we were chilling and drinking beers. Would sit there for a while unless someone made a sudden movement and spooked him. He once swooped down from a limb and took a steak off the grill.

Love blue birds. But blue jays can kiss my arse.

I feel a special bond with my neighborhood blue jays because I feed them and mimic their calls back and forth, but I hear ya.
This will sound crazy but if I moved even across town I would miss my bird friends immensely.

The neighbor behind me has several cats. She puts cat food on the top railing of a wooden picket fence for them.
A Blue Jay pair has figured out her routine and they take helpings every day (The only birds I've seen doing this)
I was working on a portion of my fence close to hers last week. I was within 5 feet of the spot where she pours the food. Suddenly I hear an aggressive chirping directed at me, it was coming from above and at my 8 o' clock position. I turn around and look up to see a Jay mean mugging the hell out of me and then continuing to aggressively chirp.
I backed off because I knew what he wanted. I then watched him gorge on cat food from a distance.
It dawned on me that I just got flexed on and then shite talked out of the way by an alpha Blue Jay.

I've heard stories about Ravens in the Arctic region befriending the natives. Ravens will circle wild game like a moose when they are hungry to help lead hunters to a kill. Then the ravens score scraps from the leftover carcass.

That's a great story.Posted on 5/9/25 at 10:34 pm to Dirk Dawgler

Bard owls are awesome. Smart too.
The poster PJ lost 7 games of chess in a row to a 2 year old bard owl.

I have two peach trees that were loaded with peaches, but blue jays have practically knocked every peach off the tree. Hardly any of the peaches they knocked off were bigger than golfball size.

Trying to be accepted by the local Blue Jays. They are a member of the corvid family. They LOVE raw unshelled peanuts. I think I need to be more consistent with the time of day I throw some out by the front door. I also do the same whistle as I throw them. However they still don’t seem to understand that I don’t want to harm them.
Ironically the squirrels walk right by the peanuts and aren’t interested even after smelling them. Even I can smell the nut inside. Maybe they just want the sunflower seeds I have out for the Cardinals.
Another funny thing is the Blue Jays love the peanuts but aren’t interested in the sunflower seeds. They are both nuts. Weird.

We used to have a pet crow when I was a kid named Charlie. He could talk.

We have a dead pine tree on the far side of our property. I call it the woodpecker hotel. Two different kids of woodpeckers have been chopping away at it for a couple of weeks, and I think they’ll get the whole thing down eventually it has been fun to watch!

I just unexpectedly heard Dickie Betts play an awesome solo on a David Allen Coe song, Son of the South. I saw the DAC thread on here the other day and went down a rabbit hole I haven’t climbed out of yet. Such good tunes.
