I live outside of Fort Worth Texas, somewhat in the country. My question is why does a squirrel keep bothering a blue jays nest. I have a blue jays nest right outside my window and the two blue jays were going nuts off and on for about an hour, so I look outside and I see a bastard squirrel sitting in the blue jays nest eating! What the hell is he eating and why is he doing it? He's not eating the blue jays eggs or baby birds is he? Can I shoot the arrogant asshole with my shotgun? I've been throwing rocks at him but he keeps coming back!Why does a squirrel keep trespassing onto a blue jays nest?
Squirrels will eat the eggs and chicks of various bird species. The one you saw is almost certainly after those of the bluejays. Kindly do not shoot him, he is just trying to survive. Removing predators like this can upset the balance of nature by artificially allowing more young birds to survive than they naturally should.Why does a squirrel keep trespassing onto a blue jays nest?
Yes he is eating the Blue Jay's eggs. Dag nab it! Squirrels love to eat bird eggs.
This is very common behavior. In fact John James Audubon, Illustrated the Blue Jay with a squirrel harassing their nest to rob eggs in his Birds of America.
Shooting the squirrel is a possible solution but you may find another squirrel takes the place of the dead one. You should make sure you are in compliance with all game and firearms laws and regulations for your area, before you do this.
i am guessing that the blue jay don't have any NO TRESPASSING signs up around his nest if not that is why .
what you have to do is put up no trespassing signs all around the blue jays nest .
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
i am sorry i have a bad sense of humor it could be eating the blue jays babies i would shoot the darn thing .
DONT KILL IT its just a squirll thats the way of life and you would be no better than the squirll so think about that while your killing one of Gods creatures
