Florida Scrub Jay

Aphelocoma coerulescens

Description:

Blue "jay like" bird with a very social "personality."

Habitat:

Florida scrub habitat. Areas without housing near the bird's breeding area. Dwarf Live Oak are essential.

Notes:

There are many scrub jays in the Sun 'n Lake of Sebring Improvement District near Avon Park Florida. Birds will come to observers with unsalted raw peanuts. All birds in area respond to this stimulus. Humans just stand in the area with hands outstretched with peanut in hand. Jay will land on human and accept the peanut with out any aggression form the jay.,
