How to catch a Blue Jay . . . .

. . . . set a rat trap with peanut butter on it! So, it was supposed to kill the rat we saw eating out of the bird feeder yesterday. I do remember that Blue Jay's love peanuts - they steal them away from the squirrels! We used cheese and did catch the rat =)

Still has the evidence on its beak:

The Blue Jay must have been stunned, it let Jonathan hold it for a few minutes. Then it flew to our neighbors roof and squawked at us. The trap only had its beak and it didn't seem to damage it - must be sore though! We were going to take it to the animal shelter, but it flew away.
Pin It
