How to Attract Blue Jays

How to Attract Blue Jays. "Wait!" you say, "blue jays may be pretty, but they are also loud, querulous, chase other birds away and even eat the eggs and young of other species." Still, if you are a blue jay advocate, here's how to get them to your feeder for a great photo op (especially when they're next to cardinals or goldfinches!).

Things You'll Need

  • Suet
  • Sunflower seeds
  • Peanuts
  • Platform bird feeder

Instructions

    • 1

      Erect a large platform feeder that is easy for blue jays to land on.

    • 2

      Fill the feeder with peanuts. You can use whole, raw peanuts, peanut kernels or peanut halves.

    • 3

      Include sunflower seeds. The birds will eat whole seeds, but shelled seeds are a special treat.

    • 4

      Hang a suet feeder, especially in winter when the birds are looking for high-energy foods.
