(Secret confession time: I refilled the feeder with peanuts because I heard a blue jay out there earlier and was like "OMG maybe a blue jay would like a peanut!!") (And then ONE SHOWED UP I am happy) (All the peanuts in the feeder are now gone tho)

You have a friend for life now! As long as the peanuts keep flowing. #birds

Colorful birds and their rodentia friends will now be your menagerie of familiars. The Jay Queen.

What feeder is that?

OH POOR BABY SQUIRREL OHHHH POOR BEBBE OH WHAT HAVE I DONE IT IS ALL EMPTY I WILL GO REFILL RIGHT NOW

So apparently, my brain is absolutely certain that peanuts in their shells are meant to be fed to elephants. This seems oddly specific, but anyway, the cognitive dissonance in seeing something as small as a blue jay engaging with one is delightful. I hope it enjoyed its prize.

What a beautiful blue jay!
