Remember, “Choosy mothers choose JIF!”. Birders while putting food on the menu at their bird feeders would do well to remember this fact as evidenced by my morning visit to Sax-Zim Bog. The Admiral Road Feeders are now filled, and better yet … peanut butter has been smeared on some branches. Even though the snow was coming down hard, whether you are a “blue” or a “gray” jay, peanut butter was an enticing treat!
But first that classic commercial! (video link for email subscribers)
Blue Jays Choose Jif!
Gray Jays Choose Jif! (aka now Canada Jays)
Unfortunately, Jif is one of the worst peanut butters to feed birds. It contains ingredients that are not good for animals, i.e. Inositol. Better to choose one that only contains peanuts. It is not as cheap, but healthier for the birds.
Super nice images.
