Dan, I'll buy one of those birdhouses, but it will have to fit a surly psycho 6/4 size blue jay.TubaTinker wrote:It's either waste time like this or get back to work on a wrecked Marzan.SJP wrote:Are we really this bored?

Re: Hmm...
What kind of blue jay? Up here we have mostly Stellers, all dark blue with big crests, real loud and assertive, but once in a while some variation on the "scrub jay" has been showing up here, lighter/medium blue kind of like a classic blue jay but with some grey, no crest. The Stellers are fun to watch, but I'm glad we don't have any resident in the immediate neighborhood, as I'm pretty sure they would clean out the songbird nests. I would get a bird house that doesn't fit this one, for the win.Ace wrote:Dan, I'll buy one of those birdhouses, but it will have to fit a surly psycho 6/4 size blue jay.

Re: Hmm...
Donn, I well remember those Stellers jays. One of my Army assignments in 1960-61 was at Fort Lewis WA near Tacoma. My wife and I lived off-post in the Lakewood district very near North Fort. Those Stellers were all over the place. They are beautiful birds but their temperament can be noisy, aggressive, and downright mean. Our two cats and Boxer dog were victimized daily by the swoops from those birds. I liked the black crests on the Stellers.

Re: Hmm...
I grew up in South Seattle. We had a huge Monterrey Cyprus tree in our front yard. Every year, there was a Stellar's Jay nest in it. We had a cat and all it took was to have the cat come out of the door and the jays were right on her. Feisty little buggers. One of the pair came down and popped the cat right between her eyes and kitty decided that the front yard was now bad and had evil things in the trees. Kitty stayed out of the front yard. We had all kinds of birds living in our yard but our place was just city block sized with trees and bushes. My Dad put out specific types of food to attract the birds he wanted to see. We had a woodpecker house on one of the outside corners of the house. It was a piece of fir, about 2 feet in diameter and four or five feet long. He cut it lengthwise, hollowed out the inside and cut a hole in the wood. This was hinged together so he could clean it out when the woodpeckers moved on. My father didn't smoke, drink or chase women and went to work every day so my mother tolerated having chunks of wood bolted to the outside of the house.Ace wrote:Donn, I well remember those Stellers jays.

Re: Hmm...
There's a woodpecker (flicker) nest a block from here - drilled straight into a new telephone pole. Maybe your father's woodpecker accommodations saved the public utility dept some long term pole replacement cost - I don't imagine a nest hollowed out in the pole does much for its structural integrity.

Re: Hmm...
I dont think the power co. soaks the poles with nasty any more. I think the "log on the house" was the path of least resistance for the 'peckers. They kept bugs and stuff away from the house, too.Donn wrote:There's a woodpecker (flicker) nest a block from here - drilled straight into a new telephone pole.
