How to Attract Blue Jay

A bright and beautiful bird with an obnoxious call, the Blue Jay is commonly found in open woodlands and backyards. Blue Jays are large birds with bright blue upperparts, and white-gray underparts. They like peanuts and sunflower seeds and will visit platform feeders to get to them. In the wild they are frequently seen in Oak (Acorns are their #1 source of food), Hickory, and Beech trees. So, if you go on a Blue Jay search in the woods, these are the trees to zero in on. The Blue Jay will use birdbaths.
