On April 6th, I put some black oil sunflower seeds on the peanut "platter".
I was hoping to attract and feed some of my smaller birds.
The peanut "platter" really belongs to the Blue Jays,
I always fill that up with peanuts for them.
The Jays came that day and they looked somewhat baffled...
What in the word is this??
What's it doing on my "platter"...
and how am I suppose to fill my belly with it??
There was a little squealing..."umm Debbie, have you lost your mind"??
But in the end, he made due!!
This is what they prefer, this clever guy had three peanuts
lined up in his beak.
He leaves with nothing less then three, two in the beak,
and one in the chamber!
I am super excited to be joining in with Eileen over at

You are going to blow that poor birds mind ;)))! I love these pictures...honestly can almost hear him talking to you (scolding you)!
ReplyDeleteYou are a quite talented photographer Debbie! Great pics of the birds!
ReplyDeletereally great photos... i'm guessing that he doesn't like change... like most of us, lol... but in the end he made due just like we would. hope all is well. have a great day~
ReplyDeleteYou have his thoughts exactly- what's up with my menu here? It's written all over that face. HA Great pics!
ReplyDeleteThese pix are so cute, and I'm actually 'hearing' them talking back at you!!
ReplyDeleteLove these! Amazing photos.
ReplyDeleteMessing with his little head are ya Debbie! LOL. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteI love the last photo Debbie. She posed for you :))
ReplyDeletegood weekend.
a kiss.
so darn cute! gotta mix things up now and then! keep 'em guessing!
ReplyDeleteCute post, Debbie! I have had the Blue Jays squaking at me when the peanuts are gone..Great series!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your post with my critter party. Have a happy weekend!
Hi Debbie All great shots but I this the last shot is really cute. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny Debbie, He does look a bit confused. I'm always amazed at how much they can stuff into their beaks. The crows out front come get peanuts (in the shell) and one has been known to grab 2-3 and fly off with them in its beak. Pig!
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos, thank you !
ReplyDeleteI love your feathered friends!
ReplyDeleteAhhh... I love these series of photos, Mr. Blue Jay is is looking right at me! 3 peanuts??? in that tiny beak? I am so happy to be back home and access to the internet, I have missed visiting and getting my "Debbie" photos and recipes. Your photography is just so amazing, its the same as being there. You make me feel as though I am there, holding the camera, seeing it for myself. Love it, Debbie!
ReplyDeleteCute series! I love the last picture with the peanuts.
ReplyDeleteI am delighted with your photos! Lovely bird! Hugs :)
ReplyDeleteMagnificent shots of the Blue Jays,Debbie!Your are a great photographer !!!Wonderful pictures!!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy Sunday!
Dimi...
Beautiful pictures of this equally beautiful bird. They do love the peanuts, though - and I love how they line them up in their beak. We don't have Blue Jays here but Scrub Jays, and they behave very similar. There are actually Scrub Jays nesting in the bush at our office window.
ReplyDeleteI usually give them peanuts in the shell. It sort of slows them down!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos.

haha! You've spoiled them I think!
ReplyDeleteLove these! That last aha look is so cute!
ReplyDeleteYou always take such amazing photos!! I think you have made some feathered friends for life :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like there is a sign visible only to the blue jay on the platter,
ReplyDelete"for Blue Jays only".
Great shots and you are right, Mr. Jay does look baffled.
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos! You're confusing the poor birds.
ReplyDeleteHe really did look baffled! You got some great shots of these beautiful birds. We enjoyed blue jays in Vermont for a couple months, but I had to bring the peanut feeders in now that the bears are coming out of hibernation. I think the jays are none to happy with me...
ReplyDeleteNice bird, love the colors!
ReplyDeleteHugs from Athens :)
very beautifull photos!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

I love the Blue Jays, they can be noisy and a bit bossy, but to me they are fun to watch. Great photos Debbie!
ReplyDeleteYour birds are such a part of your family--they can even complain about the food being served. lol
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, this was so funny. Their confused expressions certainly seemed to go with the problem at hand. Love it!
ReplyDeleteHa ha like that, two in the mouth and one in the chamber.
ReplyDeleteReal smart guy.
So cute! I really enjoyed this! :-)
ReplyDeleteSo funny. I love when they give you that look.
