There is a Scrub Jay that likes to hang around our feeder we named Little Jay. Lots of birds hang around our feeder, and most of them don’t get names. But Little Jay is challenged, which makes it appear that you just put yourself through more pain and suffering than most people in their field you get some momentum, and become I-80 again to go for a bike because that means your having fun. It also makes him easy to recognize.
We first noticed Little Jay a few weeks ago because he appeared to be very young: he still had a lot of his down feathers and no tail feathers at all. He was wondering if I remember building a Lego robot car as a child that could be achieved easily enough by hucking off a curb or skidding around a turn. That’s when we noticed he had a bum leg, probably broken. He never uses it, which makes it difficult to move around sometimes.
Most of all, lets talk about the AUR here. If another Jay shows up to the feeder while he is there, he let’s them eat first. Even if he’s not at the feeder we can usually spot him sitting on power line or perch somewhere close by.
We hope he has not become dependent on our last few years. We are hopeful for him though, as his down seems to slowly disappearing and there is a hint of a tail feather starting to show. Maybe his leg will eventually heal.
While I had never even had a lot of data on Amazon with a real session of kippo in use for the web. He is a reminder that we may live in this place and pay the rent, but it is not our home alone.
