Try old bread like the mybirdsblog shows. They eat that. They will eat just about anything but a bit more selective than starlings.<BR/><BR/>Blue Jays eat a bit more seed than Grackles and are afraid of Grackles. But I gave up trying to keep one species out in favor of others. I just feed what comes along and am grateful that I can because birds, of all kinds, need a big helping hand in our world today.<BR/><BR/>I think the milk can idea is really great. I use five of those plastic trash cans with the lid that opens and closes. They are about 3 feet tall and will hold about 40 pounds. If I had it to do over I would have gotten a larger one to hold a 50 pound bag of seed.<BR/><BR/>I feed whole peanuts in the shell and shelled peanuts and peanut pieces and chips. Also I feed sunflower seed in the hull and out of the hull (both kinds though the shelled ones are not $50.00 for 50 pounds). I also feed cracked corn and dry bread and sometimes the cheap round (pea size) dog food that starlings, grackles, and blue jays love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084623774204456321.post-43361713065596130052008-05-29T08:30:00.000-04:002008-05-29T08:30:00.000-04:00J&J: Very nicely done, I find the Blue Jays are bu...J&J: Very nicely done, I find the Blue Jays are bullies around this area. <BR/>I finished my country concert post if you want to check.This Is My Blog - fishing guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03826128050970967135noreply@blogger.com
