Feeding Mom's Bluejay

As you may have heard one of Mom's hand-eating bluejays will now come down and grab a peanut, it appears, from anyone's hand. A couple days ago, I kept holding out my open hand with a peanut as her bluejay kept landing on my fingers, plucking the peanut, then taking off---I kept count, a total of 48 times within 3 and 1/2 hours! He/she would hide or bury it, then return for more. It took Mom 8 months to gain the trust of these jays.
