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 reputation as a raider of other birds’ nests, stealing eggs, chicks, and nests. However, this may not be as widespread as is typically thought. Blue Jays, like other corvids, are highly curious.
