Gma and the Blue Jay

My Mom, who has been staying with us since March, enjoys sitting on the patio on sunny mornings. A blue jay, I believe it's a Western Jay, spends a lot of time in our backyard; he used to chase our elderly cats (both gone now) and even occasionally attacks the dog!

Mom keeps a jar of unsalted peanuts stashed in her walker bag and, when Jay appears, she puts a few on a towel in her lap. She doesn't want to give him very many at a time but, if he doesn't think it's enough, he perches on the chair and screeches at her.
