Blue Jay Intelligence
 Jays are some of the more smart birds. They will wait and watch for a person to put food down and as soon as the person walks away they will come down from their hiding place and take it. Along with crows, jays will also watch a person planting seed crops and afterwards dig up and eat the seeds. Jays are very territorial birds, and they will chase others from a feeder for an easier meal. The Blue Jay has a bad  as a raider of other birds' nests, taking eggs, chicks, and nests. However, this may not be as widespread as is normally thought.
