YardBirds are created in Atlantic Canada and needless to say our weather can be ferocius at times. You need not worry about your YardBird wherever you live. YardBirds can stay out all year long and really brighten up a winter's day.
The YardBird Blue Jay looks especially nice holding a seed feeder and can be a beautiful feature piece in many situations.

The Blue Jay mainly feeds on nuts and seeds such as acorns, soft fruits, arthropods, and occasionally small vertebrates. It typically gleans food from trees, shrubs, and the ground, though it sometimes hawks insects from the air. It builds an open cup nest in the branches of a tree, which both sexes participate in constructing. The clutch can contain two to seven eggs, which are blueish or light brown with brown spots. Young are altricial, and are brooded by the female for 8–12 days after hatching. They may remain with their parents for one to two months before leaving the nest.
