1st Contact?

Hmm. I am tempted to try to make friends with the jay. He's now confident about alighting on the feeder, despite its being basically too small for him - no more embarrassing crashes to the nearby abutilon. The feeder was a compromise with my family - I wanted a bird, they want a dog. But...no. Still haven't gotten over helping O with his book report about Jane Goodall. Didn't say anything to O of course, but honestly, I was appalled. I think she drove those chimps mad! Something about the free bananas on such a large scale...something tells me it might not be good to mix interaction with feeding. So I will just watch the jay, much as I'd like to have a bird friend.
