I was hiking with a group in Canada, when we discovered that the Jays in this particular area are quite comfortable with people. If you hold food out for them they will perch on your hand, grab it and fly off. I have never experienced that anywhere else. Jays are known for having very shrewd, opportunistic characteristics. Someone told me of a Jay that watched a squirrel hide it's nuts, and then dug them up for himself. That same squirrel then buried more nuts in the same places, and the Jay dug them again!
