I watched as this little "melodrama" unfolded. This fledgling jay would squawk, flutter, and carry on any time another jay was close by to try and get himself fed. He would feed himself perfectly fine when no other jays were around! When another jay came close-by, he'd carry on until he got fed or they left. Several jays came by and totally ignored the youngster.

Thanks, everyone for your kind words. Regretfully, I've pulled away from posting on many of my favorite sites due to my prison ministries. They have somewhat settled down now and I have regained a relatively "normal" life (whatever that is!).

Good to hear Gary. I'm losing track of what "normal' is also.

I sort of remember what it was but it seems so long ago and far away. :D :D

Here's some of what birds say, Doug. --

"Feed you?! Yer jokin'?!"
