All
I just had a Blue Jay around my deck which appears to be unable to close =
its beak, like its jaw is locked open. Initially I thought it was just =
trying to cool off, but it clearly makes an attempt at peanuts and such =
but cannot pick them up, or at least hold onto them. I did observe it =
trying to drink from my small deck pond. I was wondering if anyone is =
aware of such an ailment. It was hanging around very close to me as if =
it was desperate for assistance.
