🟦 Blue Jays are nature's storytellers, sharing their beauty and charm wherever they go. Mimic and Echo, our resident Blue Jay Ambassadors, remind us of the importance of living in harmony with wildlife.

🌳 Why are Blue Jays Important?
Blue Jays help disperse seeds to spread plants, especially oak trees. They keep insect populations down and help clean up the environment by eating carrion.

🛠️ How can you help?

🐱 Keep cats indoors
🪟 Help prevent window strikes by putting up bird-friendly decals or painting windows with tempera paint
💧 Eliminate standing water around your property to reduce mosquito populations, preventing the deadly West Nile Virus
🧼 Clean bird feeders weekly with bleach to help reduce the spread of disease.
📍 You can visit Mimic and Echo at our Wild Wonders wildlife park. Plan your visit! www.howellnaturecenter.org/plan-your-visit/wild-wonders/

We started putting peanuts out and we have two Jays that stop by to grab a peanut and take it to their nest. Oh and our jay's mimic the sounds of Hawks screaming
