neil cooney 10,416 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Sorry for butting in lads, but Jays are rare in Ireland and I've never heard of anyone using one as a call bird. Will the Jay bring in other species , like a magpie will attract grey crows and will the jay come into a different species of call bird ? Just curious. Quote Link to post

They ain't allways the easiest of birds to catch without a jay call bird hence why i've put them up on here rather than culling them straight off, "will they come into a different species of call bird?" these were caught with a jackdaw in one larsen and in a crow trap with a crow as call bird for the other one(first time me and the keeper have seen it happen though ),all corvids hate each other as they know what the others can do so yes they can pull in others as well as their own as well ... 2 Quote Link to post

I do know someone who breeds them,all legal captive rung birds that he hand rears,around £120 he sells them for and they can make very tame grand pets.. Quote Link to post

Iv followed many a foxes progress while listening to a jay As it goes i did a litter last week and the keeper where i was went and stood up one end of a wood near by we drew through afterwards and a jay gave away the presance of the vixen as she went on through and met him and his gun ,but the keeper i help out local wants the corvids caught and gone so they get caught and get gone mate and for one reason only,there nest robbing feckers .. 1 Quote Link to post
