Does anyone know much about these birds, they have only been |
|
spotted around our shoot over the past two years, do they do any |
|
harm? |

aye and the worst thing about them we here in Norn Ireland |
|
aren't allowed to shoot them ! they are cousin's of the magpie |
|
and as dc says they take egg's and rob nests, last summer I saw |
|
12 together in a sort of a flock, apparently we had more than |
|
usual last year due to the cold weather were they came from and |
|
there were no nuts for them to feed on, the only good thing |
|
about a jay for me is they're good for tyin flies ;D |
|

Have a look, dm, at an earlier post on jays. It looks like the |
|
answers from the lads are going the same way........ |
|
In other words, jays are like magpies and yet even though they |
|
are destructiv, you can,t touch them! >:( |

Jays! My advice - see no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil. |
|
Less said the better! |

Beautiful bird, very very intelligent, far more intelligent than |
|
any other corvid, and that's saying something. |
|
BUT protected, and therefore definitely off the prey list |

Ye protected, shit loads of them around our way as usual |
|
anything that eats steals or is malignant to game/song birds are |
|
protected, we have loads of corvid traps that are effective on |
|
all species but these buggers seem particularly wary of them |
|
all! |
