How many sunflower seeds can a big Blue Jay hold in its crop and beak at one time? You can count them, I came up with over 30 on at least one trip - see thumbnail photo. Winter is coming and just like the Chipmunk that fills its cheek pouches the Blue Jay fills its crop and beak and caches the seeds for later use during the winter. Smart Birds! Blue Jays are one of my favorites so if the Blue Jays are scarfing up all the sunflower seeds you just need to put more out so all the birds have their share :-)
