[SBB] Juvenile Scrub Jay

["Kendric C. Smith" <[[email protected]]>]

I know that birders are not supposed to get upset over the actions of 
birds, and I was shocked years ago when our bird teacher made a 
startling confession.  He couldn't stand the Cal Towhee chip note 
repeated ad nauseam early in the morning, waking him up.

Well, now we have one.  Our juvenile Scrub Jay.  It begs all day 
long, and has been for days and days, even when it is standing knee 
deep in bird seed.  I am sure that it is just as much a nuisance to 
its parents.  I think that the juvenile should be spanked and sent to 
his/her room, unfortunately its room is our yard.

Well, one of these days it will grow up, and learn to harass all the 
other birds at the feeders, as its parents do.  It is still a pretty 
bird.
