The Byzantines are truly a Greco-Roman successor state to the Roman Empire
Where i live we have steller jays. One comes and says hi every morning. Beautiful bird. It's black and blue, so i named it bluck. I also have a couple of robins that come around, but their not real friendly. So no name for them. Birds are cool, and remember, birds aren't real lol 😆 😂 😮 Peace and Ahev
I have a crow couple and a handful of bluejays sharing my space. They are some smart birds and they love those peanuts. Rock on.
I thought my ex was gonna be on this list
Blue jays sit on my roof over a wasp nest. When the wasps pop up over the roof, they get eaten. I love blue jays.

I have a couple acres' yard full of blue jays and mockingbirds, needless to say it's a pretty cheeky peanut gallery. They dive bomb my patio doors with pebbles when the feeder is empty and leave roofing nails and various screws from God knows where on my patio table. I think they like me but live in fear of a full blown mutiny, getting pecked to oblivion some day on my tractor.
Ive trained about 30 jays out in memramcook nb. I can call them in they knock on windows. Look innthem n call threw open windows n run along the shed roof once they notice im out and about for... PEANUTS LOL
the moral of the story is that squirrels lie. They lie lie lie like a dog.
It's amazing that the British still ended up dominating the world for the next 150 years despite almost everyone being against her.
They seem like a larger and smarter version of the Blue Tit (as seen on my channel). Even their face patterns are similar.
U people full of BS u think ghosts r real get a Fucking life morons
“White Bluff Screamer” sounds like the name of a drink
I had a blue jay friend that would visit to get in shell peanuts. He/She would pick up different ones, "weigh" each by bobbing their head up and down a little. And then pick whatever one seemed the best. They also make a sound I call "squeaky door" bc that's what it reminds me of! The one that visited me wasn't phased by other birds or squirrels going at the seed and peanuts at the same time. Such beautiful and smart birds!
What about skinwalkers?
son, interesting to know it may’ve referred to a servent
Jays are a type of crow, so ...probably

Interesting, I've never seen in the Pacific NW... Lots of stellar jays though.
"Lack of evidence" and yet it was enough for a billionaire to through millions at it, later on it was enough to convince a government backed scientist and elected official to keep throwing money at it by the millions and there’s known classified materials. There’s a lack of accessible evidence but I highly doubt that the main parties involved are as ignorant about what’s going on as they appear to be.
Mountain lion screams sound very humanoid
You only gave one sentence about them being Unitarians: a fake, cult-like religion made by the US government. I feel like that’s a big plot intrigue
I live in Fla., have lived at current home, almost 6 years. I started feeding some squirrels, and now I feed everything. When I walk outside, and a Blue Jay hears a peanut hit cement, its like a Hitchcock Movie. Some are regulars, know I aint gonna do nothing, and fly right to me. Im waiting for 1 to land on my lap 1 day, lol. Very Intelligent animals.
I stand by Bigfoot as a Washingtonian, especially in places such as the North Cascades Park, Rainer National park and all the national forest lands in the Pacific Northwest.
The Blue Jay - 10 out of 10 stars
I’ve never seen a blue jay in person. Great info on blue jays 👌
Come here to New England. They are quite common
The ones around here don't appear to be anywhere near as smart as crows, magpies or ravens.
My friend is totally not forcing me to watch this
Me time for bed Me seeing this video It’s 3:20 am btw
First European settlers in Louisiana were from Spain. Smh
My sons and I saw one by the riverbanks here in Southern California. It had pale, slimy skin and long legs. We were too afraid to capture any footage, so we quickly ran away. I'm glad that both my kids witnessed it too, not just me.
Was this uploaded on the wrong channel?
I always knew that they were smart
Wow, BlueJay uploaded the same day as this video about Blue Jays. Coincidence? I think not!
i've got 3 or 4 blue jays that have gotten very friendly with these past 2 summers. they do a certain call outback when i'm exercising, and when i'm downstairs in the front living room they squawk and will fly down onto the window sill and make themselves known. i feed them peanuts and have gotten close to hand feeding one, it's become a little routine, even the neighbours notice it lol _very_ clever birds as clever as they are beautiful, but they're corvid family so i expect nothing less
Blue Jays are so silly. At my bird feeder they will shovel out all the seeds they don't like and keep all the sunflower seeds for themselves. I've heard that they also do something similar with peanuts (no relation to the capybara).
You left out the most interesting fact: their feathers aren't actually blue, they are just bent a certain way that makes them appear blue.
Yes! technically they are brown and have melanin pigment like humans
It's also an expert slacker, and gets into adventures with it's raccoon friend.
Colon 54 less than the 60 era of 🎩 topper not whipped
So, simping actually works somewhere? It would be blue jays.
i have been attacked by bluejays before. was walking to work and one of their babies had falllen out of the nest and wasnt quite able to fly. i was just passing by but they werent happy about it and they attacked my head. hat protected me though
Dig it up stop wasting our time watching the show . I recorded it and fast forward , to see the point . I don’t need to see more rocket 🚀.
Especially when moments later what I saw seeing me back after closing drapes hearing it walk on you're roof then trying to open your backdoor
Who cares about Blue Jays where’s history of Italy pt.2?!?
Because it was spanish-- lmao. Wasn't worth much either, mostly swampland. Everything north of it was good for cotton though, so I'm sure the Brits would have tried to keep that, but Florida stayed Spanish for a little while, until Old Hickory AJ I believe.
Single female bluejays fly from yard to yard = her milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard
Why do you sound like the "Secret Tunnel" guy?
Did you just admit to trying to scam birds? 🤣❤️🫶🏻
I just watched his latest video 😂
