Four baby blue jay fledglings were in the mock orange bush last year - in the corner of my garden! Their parents bring them to my garden; where they are safe with shelter, food & water! I am so honored! They are among the many birds who love my organic, pesticide-free garden! 🌻They make their nests, they leave their fledglings to sleep under the bushes in the back corner & they come to bathe🌿🌻 Blue jays can be real noisy when a hawk is near! But, I love the hawks, too! 😘

cherryblast So cool! I saw my first ever woodpecker the other day. I’ve heard him for years but never got a glimpse. Super cool. I love the pics!

checkedskipper @cherryblast thank you! Thanks for stopping by! And yes, I love the woodpeckers so much, too! 😘🦋When they come to the feeder, I feel like I have been super blessed! 😁

cherryblast @checkedskipper so cool. Never had one come to the feeder yet. My ferals prob scare him away!

Apr 21Reply

checkedskipper @cherryblast yes, that would discourage the birds, for sure! My kitty stays in the house or he’s only allowed out if I’m out there with him! 😋😋

nshelto1 @checkedskipper How did you get the bird to be comfortable with you? I dated a man whose youngest daughter had wild animals would come to her and the birds would sit in her hand like you. It`s a gift. Nancy

nshelto1 @checkedskipper Thank you for sharing these pics with all of us. N

checkedskipper @nshelto1 I don’t know if it’s because s/he had been one of those 4 fledglings sleeping, earlier that summer, because my presence didn’t bother them, at that time. One even opened his eye and looked at me taking their pic! It’s also probably my personal energy, because I can get rather close to them in the garden.

checkedskipper @nshelto1 oh, you are welcome! I love the birds and pollinators who come to my suburban “oasis”! 🥰

nshelto1 @checkedskipper Enjoy your oasis I keep looking.N

checkedskipper @nshelto1 😋😋 It’s their “oasis”! It’s my place of hard work in the Texas summer humidity! 🤪🤪but, I do it for them, because there are few places for them to even find water in the summertime! They have a shaded “bathing spot” of about 7 basins for them to bathe in! 🥰🥰

nshelto1 @checkedskipper I never would have guessed Texas. Your yard is lush! Those lucky birds and lucky you. Your yard makes me so happy. I don`t have my home anymore. My cousins are in Texas. Were raised in San Antonio. Military men. N

nshelto1 @checkedskipper Will you take 25 w/ 4.99?

May 04Reply

checkedskipper @nshelto1 you can counter on my actual offer? Do you see where I made it, last night? We can negotiate there a little bit more; unless the other Liker(s) accept it first?

May 04Reply

checkedskipper @nshelto1 thank you! I’m glad it makes you happy! Go look at my other posts with the butterflies, or even my own Meet your Posher Listing! Lots of garden photos! My niece lives down near San Antonio and may still teach at the big base down there!

nshelto1 @checkedskipper I love these beauties, good for the soul. N

avrilon Awww... when I lived in the mountains of Georgia a few years ago, one of my kitties brought in a baby blue jay. I rushed to him and he was fine but what to do? We had a huge empty parrot cage and hand fed him there until he was big enough to fly. He would follow me to my veggie garden and sit in my head and insist I hand feed him! It was awesome. He finally moved on but I fell in love with that little guy. ❤️ Beautiful birds.

checkedskipper @avrilon what a wonderful sharing of your experience! They are amazing and So much fun to watch in their little bathing area! I even was able to stand about 20’ away and take a video of a robin taking a bath, a month or so ago! 😘😘🦋

bevsfashions OMG, I can't believe you got to hold those beautiful birds! What great photos! We have a lot of blue jays here, but they don't get that close. I have held a chicadee in my hand. A friend showed me that if you hold your hand out (patiently) with sunflower seeds, the little birds will land on your hand. It was amazing!

cottagegifts How did you get to hold one? Amazing

checkedskipper @pluswear truth be told... he came to my garden to die. He might have been one of the babies who have nested in my garden as a baby? Not sure, but he was completely tame that day & made his crossing the next day. 💕💕

checkedskipper So, now I have a new parakeet visitor in my garden! A little light blue budgie who has escaped from someone’s cage! 😘 She hogs the feeder & fends off doves & blue jays! 😆😆
