I have not seen them flocking, but instead have met individual birds with a lot of moxie. They are cheeky, charming beggars in summer, flying down from the pines around Lewis Lake to land on picnic tables, hopping right up to ask for a bite of your sandwich.

With time and patience, you can get them to take peanuts from your hands. At our old house, I couldn't go outside without them flocking around me and demanding their peanut fix.

After nesting in the summer the parents bring the fledglings to my yard and teach them to beg for peanuts. This fall we had ten birds at one time, the most ever. They are extremely smart, friendly beautiful birds and I just love them! Positive bonehead On Jan 6, 2012, bonehead from Cedarhome, WA (Zone 8b) wrote: Beautiful birds. Even though I know it's incorrect, I call them blue jays. They are humerous to watch trying to get to the suet feeders. Too large to latch on and take a bite, so they end up hop-flying up for a quick grab, like a pogo stick.

I've seen them most often where there are lots of trees they can hide in and a large feeding station is available.
