Question

Do Blue Jays live in birdhouses?

Answer 1

Not usually. They're such big birds that you rarely see a bird house that could accommodate them.

Answer 2

no, they tend to be nest "robbers".  they are really kind of rotten birds, despite their beauty.  they will kick other birds and their eggs out of a nest and take it over.

Answer 3

No, they are not cavity nesters...usually birdhouses are meant to mimic a natural nest cavity in a tree.  Blue Jays build  open cup nests, not cavity nests.
