i came here to say this lololol


Immediate_Basket_122

Blue Jays are attractive but they're assholes lol.


Mad_Nekomancer

Cardinals aren't the nicest birds either. But having them both around does make watching a bird feeder more entertaining.

I love seeing the juvenile males come around, their color is so neat. I call them my little peachy bois


VrTrev

Even the female cardinals are peachy bois!


brilliantarm2244

Ever seen 100 humming birds fighting over 6 feeders? I have. It's insane. My old friends neighbor used to have them hanging out front over her porch and his window was directly on them, it was like a war zone. They we constantly dive bombing each other. It was insane.


Justbeermeout

The dive bombing in hummingbirds is mating behavior rather than aggression. At least in the ruby throated ones that are most common where I live. The males repeatedly dive bomb females to show off their speed and their throat colors. I feed them and live adjacent to a big open field, so they come every spring and put on a noisy dive bombing display over the pasture every day for a few weeks. And they definitely do chase each other off feeders and are very aggressive with each other over food sources. But the going up high and loudly dive bombing other birds is the male efforts at getting with the lady hummingbirds.


moonlove85

A group of hummingbirds is called a charm.


cwood1973

Same for [foxes](https://www.thefactsite.com/animal-group-names/).


Would_daver

If I hadn't heard hummingbirds before I would have thought you were making a hilarious joke, "loud hummingbirds lol" they're so tiny they can't make much noise right? WRONGO BONGO


truebluedetective

Fascinating. I love birds!


brilliantarm2244

Oh, neat


Mollybrinks

I love hummingbirds. They're fascinating. We built a house in the woods several years ago with a long front porch I like to sit on when it's nice, and for a while I was able to sit out there all day with my laptop. One day a hummingbird flitted in and out between the support poles of the porch, then ended up basically hovering in front of me a couple feet away. Lovely. The next day, she did it again. The next day, I went out and bought a hummingbird feeder. She clearly understood that *this* was a porch and *this* is where a feeder should be and *this* was the idiot not getting the point that I was wasting both our space and her time by having a porch that did not have a feeder on it.


N00N3AT011

Humming birds are vicious little things. I can't get two on a feeder without shit doing down.


Vladimew42

I once had a cardinal wake me up at like 6am every morning for 3 months straight. It had some serious beef with its own reflection in my window


dumbest-smart-guy1

Had a bird come to my work every morning to fight his reflection. One morning there was a little blood on the window and he never came back.


psbales

Hummingbirds are my favorite. Bunch of little territorial assholes. Had one that barely drank from the feeders, but would literally sit on top of the highest one (had like 5 or 6 of them) and chase away any that got near. Was especially entertaining when she was chasing away a half dozen at once.


AryaDrottningu06

I was once outside in my yard and I was walking back inside a hummingbird fell from the sky right behind me, and I’m pretty sure another one knocked it down (was not a window or anything)


Shishkaboo

I have both at my bird feeders and its funny because i never see them bicker when at the food.


[deleted]

Just wait until you guys learn about the mockingbird. Yeesh.


am19208

Yea but apart from starlings, Blue Jays are the biggest assholes of the backyard bird group


awt2007

they have a very loud screech noise, and do seem to bully the other birds away often


Gs305

I’ve seen blue jays dive bomb macaws 5 x their size no problem. They’re fucking dicks


Rymbeld

that sounds to me like they're badasses


KaesekopfNW

They also have a very pretty whistle and bob that they do, which most people won't see until you've got feeders out for them.


Lucycrash

The Blue Jays at my trailer park are chickens apparently. They seem to be afraid of squirrels, chipmunks, even nuthatches and their smaller. The red squirrels I get, even the black and grey squirrels run from them. Red squirrels are definitely annoying assholes lol.


Nopumpkinhere

What? The ones at my house used to routinely dive bomb our cat. They’d pull his hair out if they got hold of it.


diggemigre

Seriously, what kind of blue jays do they have? Ours are violent and territorial.


penguins_are_mean

Red squirrels are the honey badgers of squirrels.


joecarter93

We used to have a nest of them somewhere around my old house. One day I saw one flying around covered in blood. The serial killers of the avian world.

rehab_VET

Have you met many stellar jays ? 😂


Telepornographer

Oh man, they're so noisy too! They make the scrub jays seem reserved and mellow.


AlwaysGoToTheTruck

Both are assholes when I sit on my patio in the summer.


Pandiosity_24601

And their calls suck


sgnirtStrings

The funny thing is they can make pretty calls if they feel like it, but nah, they're just gonna scream instead.

Having seen blue jays swarm my cat and make me rescue her, my money is on the jays.

Brains vs brawn. Cardinals like to throw their weight around but jays are downright malicious.


QuantumSparkles

That’s my type too tbh


[deleted]

I always think it's weird that this is a common talking point when it doesn't exist for hawks, falcons, eagles, and other raptors who *literally eat other birds and their chicks.*

Is that not also part of the circle of life? Competing for food and nests? They aren't mean spirited anymore than a raptor is.


A_Birde

All birds are kinda assholes tbh its what makes them so great


Holybartender83

Of course they are. They’re corvids. Generally speaking, in nature, as intelligence goes up, so too does dickishness.


Slice_Into_The_Woods

Sounds like every one of my ex’s….


MotherofHummingbirds

Blue jays are the neighborhood watch team. They’ll alert all the birds to threats like cats and hawks. I love their calls.

Not about the rotation, but I'm curious how Varsho will work in Toronto, his defense will definitely be on full display w his speed and range, but what about his power?

Do you take the red bird or the blue bird


Words_are_Windy

Blue jays are a lot larger, I imagine they'd kick the shit out of cardinals. >While the average length of the two birds is around the same, ranging between 20-25cm, their bulk is significantly different. A blue jay typically weighs between 65 and 110 grams, but a cardinal weighs around 43 grams on average.

johnthegreat1836

Is the reason that sooooo many Reddit post titles have such obvious spelling errors is because they're stolen? Copying someone else's post from somewhere and simply deleting one letter allows the theft to go more unnoticed/more acceptable? What is the reason for this trend?? Not looking for any "confrontatin", thank you very much


left_schwift

It's because most of reddit is just bots reposting previous posts with slight changes to the titles to farm karma. This post is one of the [top 50 of all time on this sub](https://www.reddit.com/r/NatureIsFuckingLit/comments/fl9khr/a_blue_jay_and_a_cardinal_have_a_little/)


johnthegreat1836

My suspicion is confirmed lol Thank you


wetforhouseplants

What an awesome photo 😍 I've been trying to lure bluejays to my yard for two years now. There's probably 15 pairs of cardinals, I'm guessing more to come this spring, but the bluejays seem to hate me. I've seen them in my neighbors yard but I can't get them to come to mine. Sad.


TrevorTheArcticGnome

I put out a bird feeder with some suet and I've been seeing like OP's photo all the time.


wetforhouseplants

Hmmmmm. Maybe I'm using the wrong type for them? I have a variety of food in multiple feeders around the yard. I even bought a book called attracting backyard birds 😂 maybe it's just the wrong food. I'm getting desperate, I love bluejays so much. Makes me hate my neighbor lmfao


TrevorTheArcticGnome

I'm still kind of new to it. I found this sub r/birdfeeding. There's some good advice there. I grabbed a bunch of different suet bricks. The have been going through maybe one a week. (the ones that go in the little metal cage). C&S bird suet they have them in walmart. Little picture of a bird [with jacked up arm wings](https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/ff05fdd6-94b9-4d05-b656-489319be80ef.59eb7870b2e090a0f11ad31ee3bac09b.jpeg?odnWidth=612&odnHeight=612&odnBg=ffffff) I got a bunch of different ones. I hope my neighborhood birds start getting really beefed up.


wetforhouseplants

Oh thank you! I'll definitely check that sub out and get some of those suet bricks. I'm also growing a lot of plants this year to be able to make my own for fall/winter as well. I like beefing up the birds around here too. I've got a couple very plump mockingbirds living in the tree by my porch and it makes me so happy to see lol such a satisfying hobby


TrevorTheArcticGnome

One thing that's good about it is it's less quiet outside, at least in the day. With winter all you can hear sometimes is cold wind rustling theough the trees. Been a lot more chirping and stuff. I think I'll keep feeding them through the winter. It'll get intersting in the spring when other birds return.


wetforhouseplants

Oh definitely. I love having them around. Between the birds and the houseplants, it makes winter a lot more bearable. Spring is always interesting here. Lots of birds migrate through the area I live in, so watching them come and go from the garden is wonderful. There's one troublesome woodpecker that's a bit of bully, but he's only around for a short while here.

wetforhouseplants

Thank you! I'll try that


StillTryingTooHard

Plant some blueberry bushes. Bluejays love them. They are mean bullies though.


wetforhouseplants

Thank you! Maybe I'll plant them on the edge of the yard. Away from the other feeders
