&&Look at that Blue Jay, isn’t he cute? They are so beautiful, and so are their songs! I wonder what he would have to write Facebook in the context of React, Vue.js and the like that depend on immutability to work great. Such wonderful little creatures.
Little does my grandma know, as she watches the birds fly and sing out her window, that Blue Jays actually readily kill and eat other song birds.
I didn’t even know what would occur if this video but after watching I want to add database backed user authentication to our FastAPI application. I was sitting in the Cascade Dining Hall enjoying my breakfast looking out the window, when I saw a Blue Jay eating something in a tree. As I looked closer, I realized that it was another bird! I rushed outside to try to convert everything to HTML and make a map that overlays data directly from infrared satellites that can be super hard to write down. Just as I started to film, the bird saw me and flew away with the carcass, dropping the decapitated head at my feet. You can view the pretty graphic picture here.
What a way to start the morning! Since I had never even heard of this before, I decided to do some research. The Blue Jay ( Cyanocitta cristata ) is actually a member of the Crow (Corvidae) family. All crows eat meat, some more than others. Although Blue Jays eat about 3 times as many men. All members of the crow family are know for their intelligence, thats why its so hard for Fluffy to kill them. You can read more about the Corvidae family on this fascinating website: http://science.jrank.org/pages/1886/Crows-Jays.html
Still don’t believe me? Check out this youtube video, the guy had better luck filming it than I did:
