There's a popular hike up a small mountain near my home, and the birds at the end of the trail are very used to people feeding them. They'll land on your hand for bits of granola bar or whatever. But you can always see 5 or 6 of them queuing up in the trees for their turn. Sometimes one bird tries to cut in line and the others yell at them. It's so cute.

@@Platanov Its nice to know birds realize common curtesy.

Leaning against a tree, looking at their watch and smoking.

It's less that they're waiting for their turn and more that they're trying to get a piece without getting harassed or eaten.

I mean, that's why I wait in lines instead of walking ahead of everyone.

A man named muscles, but muscles are optional

​@@hamnporkgamer My mom

We can always rely on regular show references in anything ever that has a blue jay.

If you listen closely, you can hear the blue jay talking! Sounds like "WOHHHHHHHH, OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! "

@@hamnporkgamer Oh, he does have muscles. They're just under a layer of fat.

it would probably be like "Hmm not bad" x7 per second.

Birds don't have enough tastebuds on their tongue to register flavor. The number of tastebuds on their tongue is literally too low to taste anything in any meaningful way.

@@kingconcerto5860 🤓

@@kingconcerto5860 Birds can definitely taste, it’s just different from humans. Experiments have been done and they will not drink water that is too salty or too bitter. Birds usually have excellent vision and small toothless mouths, so they are naturally precise with what they eat. As a result they don’t need very sensitive smell or taste to “find” their food, but they can indeed catch a “glimpse” of taste. Which is why this jay needs to eat the worm several times to “understand” the taste

@@jirf Sure, which is why I said the number of tastebuds are too low to taste in "any meaningful way". People who watched this video annoyingly think it ate a mealworm and registered some sort of expression of "I liked that!". As you said, it needed to eat several before it even understood the taste. As far as the water- yes, "too" salty and "too" bitter. Add enough salt or bitterant and of course they'll taste it eventually.

☺

Joe at the end, before flying away, is like me at a buffet. "hm, i know i just ate quitealot. but let's take a little more .. and a little more. ah, what the heck, let's take even more before i go back to my seat..."

​@silpheedTandy I'm learning about different species of birds. Is there a difference in a Jay & a Joe? They look the same to me.

@@stephaniemcbride2820Joe is the name of the Jay, I’ve discovered

Joe loves mealworms 😋 goes to show if you try something new you may like it (a lot)

Color filter?

@@anotherelvis It wasn't just the color, but the condition of his feathers and body. Joe has never been particularly plump, but he's starting to get to that danger zone on malnutrition. It's always stunning to watch a rescue bird during the refeeding phase of recovery because their plumage just explodes. Anyway, meanwhile, Jay is fat and happy lol! Maybe Joe found Jay on a BBW chat 😂

Joe is female.

Picking up a few extra for the kids 😆

that's why feeding wild animals is known to have a negative effect on them because it weakens their survival instincts because they start to rely on an unnatural food source 🐛🐛🐛🐛🐦

Was waiting for the regular show reference

Racoons are busy eating hot dogs and grapes.

It’s almost like they born to fly!

humans could too if they'd stop being scared to jump!

And they don't have DEI and woke policies to deal with. Has to be nice.

They see in slow motion

Dyou see how rapidly they pivot their heads to get a view of everything? Birds' visual-spacial are S-class. The eyes themselves are pretty nuts. But what's even more impressive is how much spacial information they can resolve on the fly, from every sense they have that provides spacial cues. They can build highly complex pictures in their heads of their physical reality, and they remember them. Birds always know where they're at like they know everything around them. If not for that they'd all have crashed out or been eaten by predators many, many millennia back. Their eyes are orders of magnitude better than ours (the lil bastards even see UV) and their little bird brains can chew through more spacial information than us. Dang, their ears resolve more information than ours. We should be talking to birds man, they *see* stuff, and they *hear* things. Nah, but given these traits, it's no wonder we can't comprehend doing what they do. We gotta broaden our perception maaaannn

🤣

Lol. Yeah, the odds are pretty much stacked against you.

Great comment

​@@richhoops2413Yup

Good one 🤣🤣

🥰💕

@@choochoostoryI noticed that Jay went for the water first. I love that they put water out for them! Most people don’t think about it, but it’s the winter and everything’s frozen so he was thirsty. Smart thinking and so thoughtful! 💞🌎🕊️

Joe is hungry

I wonder if it would like orange squash

Must have been the pretzels.

🤗😊💕

Thank you 😊❤

Wow I didn't even think about preparing water for birds. I keep a melted water bowl on my porch for the feral cats but didn't think of the birds... guess I need a window box

It stays warm it's plugged in

Hi Joe 🥰💕

@@choochoostory Hi Choo Choo. Thanks for your videos

I suppose you don't eat mealworms though.

No it’s Joseph

Made me think of "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe. However ChooChoo's friends are a WHOLE LOT more cheerful than the Raven on a midnight dreary!

only crows would dare do that

I have Steller's Jays at my house and they come stand on the deck railing and knock twice on the railing with their beak asking for food.

Bluejays by me used to do this every morning like 830am. Knock on the window if i dont already have peanuts lined up on the window. They are pretty smart birds.

The advancements in animation quality are also no joke!

This comment is probably why I got recomended this after watching Regular show clips. Damn you XD

I knew there'd be a comment like this🙏🏻

😊💕

This is spectacular and glorious! God is good. My first vid on your channel, saved and subscribed. Thank you! It was a wonderful treat for me to behold. Simply Divine. @@choochoostory

It was JOE the male that ate the mealworms

☺🤗💕

Thank you so much foryour support andlove😊💕

Yes I saw they were given Evian 😭 my favorite bottled water lol

감사합니다💕

What language is being written here? Isseems so cute.. I wonder aseems like shorthand to me. Do people write also in real this way? And does it look different when they speak this language? I mean in terms of listening, does it sound different then English? Also wanna see ur shorts as well.. though short button is not visible? Do u share shorts nowadays? Btw beautiful video! Thanks and infinite ❤, light as nd blessings to u all❤💐 😮 Bix Hi

I live in Korea and the characters I use are proud Hangul.😎🇰🇷

​​@@consciousdreamlifecreators9716 Feeling like giving an impromptu linguistics lesson this morning, why not 😂 It's the Korean language, and the characters are called Hangul. It's not exactly like the English alphabet - most characters are made up of two pieces. In English, our letters tend to correspond to a single sound* - one consonant OR one vowel, and never both. We have to string a bunch of them together horizontally to get a syllable. But in Korean Hangul, most characters have a piece that contains a vowel and a piece that contains a consonant and those are stacked one on top of the other, so a single character has more information about the sound of it packed into a tighter unit. So yes, in that way, it is kind of like shorthand compared to English! If you translated my comment into Korean it would look a lot smaller (fewer characters) to convey the same meaning! But spoken out loud, it would be (roughly) the same length I believe. Hope this satisfied that curiosity. Keep it burning, friend 😊 *WHICH sound each letter corresponds to is a whole other linguistic mess. Word of the day is "orthography" for further learning. English orthography is a total crapshow lol, it's a running joke among linguistics nerds You might also enjoy a couple channels I follow if you're interested in this kind of thing. NativeLang is a great starter resource for getting into linguistics generally, and jan misali is who got me into conlangs (short for "constructed languages"), which are languages people make up as a hobby. It's all extremely nerdy 😅

Thank you, but it's okay~^^😎🇰🇷

제이가 표현을 잘해줘서 볼때마다 신기해요 :)

Wow I love google translate! Hi!! ❤🎉😂

😊💕

She seemed baffled, maybe even stunned by that too! Thankfully, ChooChoo returned shortly!

true, my chickadees are the same way. i feed them 10kg dried mealworms each month all year round....

Thank you so much for your love☺❤

Animals are NOT people but deserve respect and recognition all the same.

Yes it's now choo choo's eat all you can buffet😂❤

In the United States, blue jays and chickadees are nonmigratory birds. They have never migrated for the winter, it is not in their behavioral pattern and has nothing to do with food abundance.

😉💕

I love humans being that care for animals, nature, and each other, but not all human beings since most not only don't do that, but are enemies of nature and humans to serve their own purposes.

@@Iconoclast1919 Exactly, I would like humans more if they weren’t so blinded by their own ignorance.

You're the first person I've heard on these vids express some love for other people. I like animals, but love other people. We have to.
