Lol 😂

Lmgdao this comment is awesome

IM THE 1KTH LIKE!!!M 😂😂😂
In all my years as a bird watcher (and feeder), one thing I've learned...Blue Jays absolutely LOVE peanuts! We used to buy one of those gigantic 40 pound bags of peanuts and they watched us unload the bag every time, screeching like crazy! I also learned that you should never feed them roasted peanuts either...it's best to give them the raw kind.
Why can’t you give them the roasted kind..?
@@moraloeval851 Actually two reasons: Sometimes places will put that powdered salt on them after they're roasted. Like they do sunflower seeds. That's really bad for them, but they can also make them choke if they're not raw. I'm not sure why,
No kidding literally went and bought a regular sized bag I guess 2 pounds mabey 3 in peanuts didn't take long for them to finish it all up
I feed them ever morning. They wait for me to put them out. They are so mean to the squirrels though. I felt bad for them so I put a pile in the wood shed where the Blu Jays can't get at them. But now they wait for him to leave and ambush the squirrels as they come out.
@@kevin-yv1ig - I have my chihuahuas trained to run out the doggy door and bark at the squirrels when I yell “ damn squirrels” 😂😂😂
Don't mess with something that can drill a hole in a tree.
True but starlings don't fear woodpeckers.
Hell, a woodpecker grounded the launch of the Spaceshuttle once because it made a hole in the fuel tank. True story.
Drill a hole in a tree with their nose.
I learned that the hard way
I just did the thousandth like
0:35 I love how he flew back and told his whole fam it was safe to get the peanuts
😂
I thought he was just showing sass 😂😂😂😂
I love blue jays, I have a family of them in my front yard.
owO its butters
So you're a blue jay as well?
During spring. Blue Jays and Red Robins be in my yard to get the remainder of my Cats food.
We don't have those in Germany.. :(

I was gonna say that! :)
You know whose else said that? MY MOM!!!! WOOOOOO!!!!!
Greg Bruhl Funny was thinking the same.
"MORDECAI YOU BETTER STOP ARGUING WITH MARGARET OVER SNACKS OR YOU'RE FIRED!"
That was really good
Margaret is a red robin, not a woodpecker

Whenever I see a lot of blue jays together, it seems like there's always one red-bellied woodpecker hanging out near them.
Maybe because the jays provide good cover from predators, and the woodpecker can actually hold his own around bullying jays.
Could also be that Blue Jays cache their bits of food and maybe the Red Bellied Woodpeckers are onto that game and steal from the Blue Jays' caches. I have seen squirrels and Blue Jays steal each others' caches for what it's worth...
You are onto something! I have between 25-40 Jays at once when I throw peanuts. Last 5 days, a woodpecker has been showing up. He waits to get in the action-I saw him grab full peanuts 🥜 fly to a palm tree and open it while hanging sideways-Amazing! I m thinking he is dropping some of it?!? So Cool to watch!
The jays will let everyone know when the hawks are nearby. I can tell by their impatient tone.
@Dana William Agree. The Blue Jays I see at my feeders always flee from other birds. I've seen Cardinals run them off. Doves run everything off, though. Even the Red Bellied Woodpecker doesn't tangle with Doves for some reason.
@@paulburns4721 Huh. The blue jays I've seen are the ones doing the bullying. Then again, there aren't many birds their size or larger around here. We've got woodpeckers and mourning doves, but they usually show up at different times or just aren't that interested in where the jays hang out.
Well, that's not entirely correct. Grackles will run off *everything.*
It's amazing just how fast those birds are when you see them up close with a camera like this.
How do you get wild animals to like you? Feed them food nonstop.
For what possible reason could anyone give this a thumbs down? Peanut allergy?
229 must be a lot of miserable people that can't stand cute, joy and beauty.
My family died by blue jays and wood peckers ate them
They have a stick up their arse
Maybe they were expecting a longer confrontation?
feeding birds is unethical. video disliked
That bird at the end is like ( throw you wings in the air and wave em like you just don’t care) 😂😂😂

First time seeing a woodpecker from this near.
You live in a city? I do as well but not near the downtown. I feed birds during winter and woodpeckers are regular visitors at my balcony :)
I live in Mexico and I see them like 40 times a day. On the other hand I had never seen the blue bird before.
Koraxus I had to smile when you said you’ve never seen the blue bird before. The reason? There are blue birds called Bluebirds. Lol
@Landon Stoltzfus Yeah, they don't occur naturally in my zone, though there are related corvids that are blue and sorta similar.
They're called "charas" here. A few species are green too.
@@Koraxus i love how you're replying to a long ago comment :)
Mordecai: WHATS YOUR PROBLEM!!!
I love when Bluejays imitate the hawks.
It's really funny when they go quiet due to an actual red shouldered hawk flying by
Their movements are so quick, graceful and precise.
Red vs Blue in the nutshell in each game.
in a peanut shell*
It's a swapped one for me.
The reds always win and it pisses me off.
0:46 Woodpecker: Suck it blue!
Teams have been autobalanced
yeah, horde was always better at pvp
Blue jays are mean as hell they will literally pick up and throw eggs out of another birds' nest so they can have the nest. But wood peckers take no shit!
I swear the first blue Jay was yelling "MINE MINE MINE!!!!"
😂😂😂😂😂
They let the rest of the party know where the food is
Update; Recently added a small, plastic porch table to the feeding area, and split the peanuts between that and the basket. With one crow, at least three jays and around seven magpies, it’s gotten the birds to stop being aggressive over who’s turn it is to take food. They also all really love plain cooked eggs, which I encourage you to try.
Eggs, I'll have to try that! I've been experimenting with having them queue in line with mixed results :-) BB
Lol eggs are from birds (though a different species of course)
I know nature works like that but I just think it's funny
These birds seem to realize they got to snatch those peanuts quick before another bird does.
Birds.....Birds Everywhere.
1:01 Proof that the peanuts we're filled with marijuana.
🤣🤣🤣
Ok, that made me laugh
I almost spit out my food
Omg!😂💀
... were* filled (we're = we are)
1:06 just. a blue jay praising his food
it's actually a white breasted nuthatch.
He's praying to the food gods.
It's dancing the Birbo Dance
Jay M ...wow
... that's a different bird
Don’t mess with my nuts!
--almost all birds.
nice
Didn't know wood peckers liked peanuts. Or blue jays. Learn something new everyday
margaret when mordecai does anything
Our woodpeckers are also pretty fiesty! They aren't stressed at all and usually stick around the feeder for hours on end. They're quite the character! TFS as always.
+mariam We have a resident pair that hang around the feeders and visit the woodpecker house even when not nesting. They become rather friendly!
Margaret and mordecai arguining
0:03 Woody vs. Mordecai
That woodpecker was lucky that the blue jays came alone they are usually accompanied by a racoon, an angry gumball machine, a sasquatch, a naive lollipop man, a ghost that gives you hi fives, and a strange green muscle man.
I Love Regular show
Margaret VS Mordecai Fight
Peckerwood said, " Get off my nuts you blue bastard! I AM THE ONE WHO PECKS!!!".😹
And that Bird on the end credits saying," Hey baby! Run dat ass back by me! I look like a Nuthatch, but I'm hung like a pelican!",
Blue Jays are beautiful birds.
Mordecai
Blue jays love to act like the tough guy but everyone knows you don’t mess with woodpeckers
Birds DO love peanuts. In fact most any animal as well, myself included.
Praise be to the West African cultures that noticed the strangest legume ever and decided it was yummy enough to cultivate.
Amazing video of a blue jay and woodpecker
I can imagine dinosaurs covered in feathers like Utahraptor to be as beautiful as these birds!
Just two dinosaurs fighting
Okay but can we talk about how nice their garden is
Yes nice enough to have an ecosystem of birds living within it :)
i love your signature nuthatch dance... thanks!
Blue jays actually tend to be bullies. I watch the birds outside on the deck a lot and while they are skiddish, the blue jays actually tend to be the aggressors.
😄 “ Both species inhabit my neighborhood but are just as noisy as they are ad❤rable. ”
Mordecai vs. Woody Woodpecker
Blue jays don’t mess with the woodpecker, he’s got that jackhammer mounted up front
"Wanna play Hole in the Head?"
Blue Jay "uh nope"
Oh shit, so that's how bluejays sounds like!! Now i know every time I hear those calls
Mordecai wanted some peanuts too.
Red bellied woodpeckers give me so much joy. It just looks so goofy seeing the little guys climbing up the side of a tree
always good to see another bird lover....
The nuthatch at the end LMAO 🤣😂🤣
Moreicai vs Margret
Such remarkable efficiency those little bodies. And the little brain controlling it is twice so.
You can hear The jays, mimicking the red shoulder hawks’ call, in the background. Cool video, Im a fellow bird nerd and I love capturing bird photography 👍🏻
2012truth1776 I caught that too. In my Boston neighborhood they do a dead-on impersonation of the Red-Tailed Hawk too. They’re amazing mimickers.
Stay Strong,
Boston
VERY nice spot...only heard once I saw your comment. Wonder why? Frighten other birds away until they have the stash?
in my area i've seen and heard Steller's jays imitate a red-tailed hawk screech
@@garethcollocott6310 exactly!!! 🤙🏻
Near the end, the ole Blue Jay swaying to the oldies.
We had put birdseed on the ground and one day I looked out the window and a woodpecker was eating when 2 crows came. The woodpecker went after them and they left pretty quick. Woodpeckers are awesome.
Blue Jays are highly, highly intelligent birds. I actually play a form of fetch with some. These little fellas communicate with me. They'll chirp when it's time to throw the nut. If I don't break the shell, they drop it and fly on branch above me a chirp until I throw one. They're priceless. They sound like a rusty clothline.
I see them in the trees all the time in flocks. They just sit there. And then they fly around, and then they land back at the same spot there were before. They're thinking birds.
I'm glad the woodpecker held his own. We have both woodpeckers and jays where we are and the jays are such bullies. They used to taunt a housecat I had!
i love the ending with the bird doing a dance XD
This is gorgeous!
+Annemieke van Leeuwen Thanks Anne!
BB
Pp
Such pretty birbs
Wow! That was really great to watch. Thank you. Absolutely gorgeous birds xxx💙💛❤️
Yup. My woodpecker does the same thing when I feed them peanuts. Those blue Jays are greedy lol I've seen them take in two peanuts. One down their throats and the other carried by beaks.
Pretty clever of that there Jay!
That was the ha ha i got your peanuts dance im guessing... this video shows how good the senses are on these birds to see those nuts so quickly...my dad does stuff like this in his yard..he will toss a few walnuts or pecans on his grass and the blue jays are on them so quickly it's amazing how ther seeing them ...
Epic regular show episode
So cool! Blue jays are bad-@$$!!🦋. I love them!!!🧞♂️🧢👗
Dude! That woodpecker was like “This is mine!!!”
Oh, so THIS must be that Red vs. Blue thing I used to hear so much about!
This is somewhere in North America, right? It so amazing to observe your birds. We also have jays in Russia, but they look pretty different, we have woodpeckers but they are also not like that. Very exciting to watch those of yours!
Wholesome comment💜
Yes, eastern North America. There are at 10 other "jays" in North America. The "Steller's Jay" is the western counterpart of the "Blue Jay." I looked up your Eurasian Jay and Siberian Jay.
But you Russians are winning with UA-cam videos of people who own large pussycats (pumas, cheetahs, lynxes, bobcats, and leopards).
Yes , I noticed when I went to Ireland that the blue jays and just about every bird and flower had a slight difference. Except sparrows they look the same everywhere.
That is consistent with birds of the northeastern United States, not sure about the rest of "eastern North America."
Those Bluejays are rascals, pecker bird was lucky to even get one! Hahaha💟
Hi 👋how are you doing?
0:32 holy snikes that was fast and loud! : )
That is Wonderful! How fun!
Blue Jay: TSEEERRR!
Woodpecker: SQUAWK!
Blue Jay: *flees*

"Dude chill out, let's play punchies for it."
Although short, this was very therapeutic for me. I'm thankful to have stumbled upon your video.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SET UP YOU HAVE, ALL THOSE VIDEOS OF YOUR BIRDS TO LOOK AT. LOVELY YOU HELP THOSE GLORIOUS CREATURES WITH FOOD.

HAHAHA! The Woodpecker is the BOSS!
YOU ARE SO AWESOME MAN!!!! GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL

That Woodpecker doesn't want that Blue Jay messing with his nuts.
It's that Peanut lady again.. Lets see what she brings us today.....

Feisty little bird 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mordecai tries to steal food from Margaret after months of getting fired from the Park.

awww both birds are so beautifully animals
Miss my Jays ! Kept me entertained. ❤❤❤
"Need more coffee... Need more Margaret"
Bluejays are just about the most aggressive species of small bird you can find. Yet 5 Bluejays will haul ass away from a single mockingbird.
That's because blue jays are corvids morphed into a songbird. And like all corvids, their natural aggression is informed by their high intelligence. The mockingbird is just a stupid songbird with a chip on its shoulder. The Jays are willing to negotiate, the mockingbird is not.
I bet while the mockingbird was off being tough he lost his dead lizard to one of the jays who hung back.
Love watching the blue jays but, they are greedy. I feed them peanuts out of the shell, amazing how many a blue jay can scarf up and take back to the nest.
Gorgeous birds
That dancing bird at the end though...
Rare footage of mordecai and woody fighting
That boy was drunk off peanuts at the end!..
Awesome! I don’t have a backyard, as I own a third floor apartment condo suite. But I attach a basket to my balcony railing, put peanuts in it, and have fun watching the crows, bluejays and magpies pig out.
This male red bellied woodpecker is absolutely gorgeous tho! As is the jay!!!
They are both stunning birds.
This new episode of Deadman Wonderland is looking good so far
