Baby Blue Jay..

Baby Blue Jay

We have a Blue Jay, we call JAY. he/she fell of a pine tree from nest. We took care of JAY for 2 1/2 months.

JAY would follow us all around the place. JAY would go on our hair and shoulders whenever it needed to feel loved. Jay also slept in our house for the night.

I would leave the door open so he/she could fly in and out of the house, that JAY done well.

JAY is like a human, very intelligent when it comes to communicating with humans or I should say me, because we took very good care of JAY.

JAY stayed with us for 2 1/2 months until a storm hit the area, we have not seen JAY since, What a sad ending, I’m feeling devastated..

Please if anyone can help me put a ending to this mystical chapter with the intelligent Blue Jay we had, I need it.

The smartest bird in the world.

To the lady who lost her blue jay?
by: Anonymous

To the lady who lost her little friend I'm so sorry. I don't know what could have happned to him in the storm. Just keep thinking good and positive thoughts that he flew away with the other birds or he's alright and perhaps he might come back to see you one day.

I think it's best when you go as far as raising them then to just keep them. I know it might not be right but if you raise them from a baby they know nothing else but you. But you tried to do the right thing. Just next time you'll know.:)

Also have you tried calling Jay? He might be afraid to come out. Call him or her over and over again. He might come back. I hope so. Other birds will take them away to. It's just nature. I'm so sorry.

Take care,
:)

Did you ever find your jay?
by: Anonymous

We raised a baby blue jay that grew attached to us until we finally released her and thought she would fly off somewhere, but so far she has stayed in our yard for several months.

She will come down several times a day to see us and eat the food we put out for her. We are attached to her, and she still seems to have a measure of attachment to us even though she is out living on her on now.

I dread the day when she fly's away and doesn't come back. Blue Jays are super intelligent and they imprint on humans pretty easily.

If you have a newborn blue jay (without hair) you can get baby bird food formula from Pet Smart or if they are fledglings you can feed them mushed up wet cat food in small little pieces by a dropper or dull tweezers.

They have to be fed about every hour from sun up to sundown so if you can't commit to that then make sure you take them to a vet or someone that can take care of them.

What to feed your blue jay
by: Anonymous

The best thing to feed the bird is earth worms and crickets.

I found a baby blue jay and the baby is about two weeks old you have to mush up the worms and feed him through a straw.

But the blue jay needed stitches so I had to give it stitches and it recovered and now is about three or four weeks old now.

by: Anonymous

I just found a fledgeling blue jay in my drive way at night. I picked him up and brought him in due to predators in the area and all he can do is hop so we r keeping him for the night and I will see how he does tomorrow. I don't want him getting hurt also he is the first bird my girlfriend has not been afraid of.

our baby blue jay
by: Anonymous

We also raised a baby blue jay for 7 weeks. I didn't realize I was so attached to her until she didn't return home last Monday. I guess we'll never know if a cat caught her or she just decided it was time to go out on her own. We also had a storm the night she left so maybe she was blown out of her territory. I don't think I'll ever do this again - just too sad when they leave even if that was the ultimate goal.

My 7 yrs old son found a baby blue jay today and I have no idea what to do. Can anyone tell me what I could feed the baby bird now? It is illegal to keep them?

Baby Blue Jay
by: B. Morgan

We just found a baby jay in our backyard. we tried to fashion a nest from a hanging basket, but the parents never fed the baby. Two days later I heard it crying in the hanging basket. My husband took it out so we can try to save it. Any suggestions would be very welcomed!

Your baby Jay
by: Dawn Mathews

Im so sorry to hear you lost track of your Jay, please except my deepest regard's. We have a baby Jay,that fell out of a nest, it just has pin feather's that are blue on it's wing's.

We returned it to it's nest last night when we first found it, and watched the nest, and then today it was back on the ground. We tried our best to get it back to it's parent's, to no avail.

We tried our best to get it to a environmental conservationist, to no avail as well. We now have it under a heat light, are hand feeding it, and it seem's to be doing well for now. Will you please share with us what you fed your baby Jay?

How should we plan for it's future? We live in Iowa, and the winter can be brutal! Please help us with more of your experience? My personal email, if you ask I will share with you.
