These birds are a nuisance and in many ways they know my routine. Whenever I put sun flower seeds in the bird feeders they start screaming to each other from the nearby trees as if to say, "he finally put feed out, lets go!" Whenever I go outside they start screaming. I try to keep food outside for my black cat, but the Jays seem to find it no matter how I try to hide it from them. Now I find myself talking and screaming back at them and the real problem is I think they understand me.
