When are you going to build him a basement?Update:
My daughter, her boyfriend, and his kids came over yesterday to celebrate the fourth. We thought it was a perfect time to give Crow Biden his "independence." He wasn't having it.
He sat on the bottom limb of one of my remaining cypress trees and just sat there, looking around. I gave him about 20 minutes and he was still just sitting there. I pushed back a limb, stuck my finger under his feet (claws? talons?) and he stepped onto it. So, I walked back over to his cage and put him back in it. He became active again. Sheesh.
I may be needing a bigger cage.
Damn, you buy him beer, too. He'll never leave now...He/she/it lives with the chickens. Been out there for maybe a month now. We still feed it when it yells at us, but has chicken feed, seeds, scratch, and water.
There's a hole between the two runs, so he has access to both sides and has already figured out how to navigate them.

The internet says he's a Common Grackle, but the internet is full of lies. He ain't common!
He resides in the same room as my quail chicks, but im trying to decide on a name. I might need help with this one.
So, Chick Cheney? Cluck Schumer? Finch McConnell?
What say you?

Animals and people trigger different parts of the brain I swear. I'll dodge highway traffic for a duckling or kitten but step over a bleeding stranger without missing a beat.And before any of you chumps label me a softie, I'm as hard as they come.

Looks like he wants to help!
Blue jays are the Thugs of the bird world so it's not too surprising.Just calling this bird "Roscoe." It seems simpler.
This guy (gal) is a heckuva lot more social than the blue jay was. It absolutely loves hanging out.

Well that's the first bluejay rap album cover. We'll photoshop in the baaaaad streets behind that pose.
Interesting.
My wife said there were three Jays raising hell around the trees that day.
Should I squash it so it don't grow up to be a cunt?
I don't particularly care, one way or the other, but if this type of situation presents itself, I want to give them a fighting chance at life.
Life is short enough, already.
please continue posting.
this thread is so interesting to us.
Good, Bad, Ugly...does not matter.
we appreciate it.
I will include him in my toast tonight, hopefully he will make a comeback.I'm thinking there's bad news, but I have no physical evidence. Roscoe vanished about a week ago.
I've been concerned about the neighborhood cats prowling at night, and one of them finding him. I guess because I couldn't really teach him to take refuge in the trees, he spent an incredible amount of time on the ground. He did, however, "sleep" in the Loropetulam shrub near the propane tank. But that was less than four feet off the ground.
We saw him go to the shrub around 8:30 that evening, but he didn't greet either of us the next morning. That wasn't necessarily an indicator he was gone. We could sometimes make it to the car without him "attacking" us. But when he didn't greet (attack) me at lunch, I knew something was up. He was too clingy and needy to just turn that off overnight. Well, in my opinion, anyways.
And when I say attack, what I mean is, I couldn't walk across the yard without him coming from wherever he was at the moment, and either lighting on my shoulder or my head. He was so bad about that, especially when he was hungry, that I text my neighbor and told him if a black bird "attacked" any of them, it wasn't a real attack, the bird is just hungry. Haha.
I mentioned not finding any evidence. My wife and I walked our yard several times over the next couple of days, maybe looking for a crime scene. You know, a few feathers in an odd spot, etc. We've found those before and knew what took place. We haven't found anything like that, so we're kinda hopeful he just ventured off and either didn't find his way back, or found something more interesting than our place.
This was just a day or two before he vanished. He could see me through the kitchen window and screamed at me until I finally stepped out and fed him.

No I will offer a toast for his safe return!Am I reading this correctly?
Do you have my bird?
Whew. For a minute there I thought you were having a bird sandwich on toast tonight.No I will offer a toast for his safe return!
That’s a great picture!When we were raising a deer, we used a wet wipe on its heiney while it drank from a bottle.
No wiping action, but this guy...
