Steller?s Jay
All Better Now

On the first day of October , this Steller?s Jay came to my back deck, I noticed it?s voice was weak and it was having difficulty flying and especially landing, it would end up sitting right down on the floor of my deck, it allowed me to sit close to it, it would peck at the peanuts but wasn?t able to open them. I called bird rescue , they suggested that I catch it using a towel and bring it to pet emergency as the rescue was about to close.
I tried to catch it and it jumped down under the deck where it sat until dark, it snowed the next morning and when I went out , it was sitting back up on the deck but on the floor. I took out a block of suet, and I crushed up some peanuts, it was able to eat some of the crushed peanuts and suet , I kept an eye on it for 3 days as it pretty much hung out on my deck. it was eating the suet and crushed peanuts and drank water. It was getting stronger and able to fly up onto the deck railing and then up onto the roof of my house. After a few more days it was able to fly off and up into a tree in my yard , and finally it was able to come back , land on the railing and pick up a peanut, open and eat it, it?s voice was still not as loud and strong as the other Steller?s Jays that come but it is able to fly , pick up the peanuts , open and eat them. This photo was taken on the 10 th, you can see it looks happy and healthy again.
