Do blue jay birds have enemies?
The blue jay,like most creatures,has its share of predators.Snakes sometimes prey on the young,as do raccoons and cats.The adult birds are often preyed upon by accipiters,like the Cooper’s and sharp shinned hawks.Domestic cats may take a few,and the black rat snake has a habit of eating nesting birds,as well as the eggs.But the population of the blue jay remains stable,and there is no current danger to this aggressive and adaptable species.
