There's been a lot of Blue Jays shenanigans in my backyard lately - 5 or 6 youngsters coming to the feeders, but then begging to be fed when they are more than capable themselves. I'm not sure, but at times it seems they are begging to each other, not to adults #birds #Ancaster #HamOnt #Bobsbackyard

Several blue jays in my tray feeder, with one begging with its mouth wide open Several blue jays in my tray feeder, with one begging with its mouth wide open, now flapping its wings, and leaning towards another Success! Several blue jays in my tray feeder, with one being fed by another Wants more! Having been fed, it continues to beg and flap its wings.

Eaglets do it all the time, they imitate their parents and still like being fed this way. They are just growing up. Give the kids a break.😁

Perhaps they are a little grouchy since they realized that adulthood isn’t all it’s cracked up to be…
