An Animal Behavior Image; Juvenile Blue Jay Displays the Avian "Feed Me" Body Language

As juvenile birds mature, the parents ignore this display more-and-more, Nature's way of moving towards the "Empty Nest Syndrome.

This morning, five Blue Jays were simultaneously raising hell around my feeders. I was most fortunate to be there and to get this shot.

Luv how nature's mothers "teach" their kids that now is the time to grow up.

Too bad humans don't follow that practice.

Nice shots Mac.

Since 1993, Buzz.

I think this is Joe Carter's Great Grand Bird.
