Index of Subjects
Index of Subjects I routinely have around 8-9 bluejays at my feeders daily every winter. There are also cats (five) in the vicinity, but I have been able to pick my winter feeding site in a spot that allows for the placement of discrete spruce barricades which require a cat to jump over them before it can reach a bird. This has been very effective.
