Connie what a great story for us! I love my birdies. Especially my pretty gold finches and the way the morning doves sound when your waking up. So peaceful. I guess I didnt realize either how smart those jays are. Yours had such pretty markings compared to ours here in Michigan. I used to feed my little pet squirrel who I names Ellie peanuts and popcorn from my front porch as a child and it was so fun to try and see how close you could get.
