discriminating Shoppers


I always put in the shell peanuts out for my blue jay gangsters. It is such fun to watch them come in and do their daily "shopping", as picky as anyone in a gourmet food shop, thumping the melons or squeezing the peaches. They pick up and weigh every single peanut before selecting a single one, looking for the "most for their money". They will eventually pack them all off, but only the choicest go first, usually for stashing somewhere like my firewood pile or under the pine duff in the back yard..
