For more information on this topic, look up birds and their feeding habits in the library or on the internet. See if you can find any examples of birds working together in search of food in your local areas. I would be pleased to hear from you with your observations through the Dearcroft e-mail. If you have a backyard bird feeder, see what types of birds feed together in such close quarters. Many species are quite territorial and will drive others away, as they prefer to feed alone.
Jays are extremely territorial.
