Have you ever been attacked by a bluejay? They are really territorial when you get a little too close to their nests. I was walking down the street one day, just mindin' my own business when this jay came dive bombing on my head..........and God forbid if they are nesting close to where you sleep. They can be LOUD !!!! Also, had a cat, but these jays have no fear of cats............or people. lol. One fearless bird.
The jay in her painting looks a little pudgier than the jays around here.
