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.

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 ...

 

Thanks Fireman, I've only ever seen one near one of my traps, but then again, I don't trap near much woodland.

Have to say, I like to see the odd one as they're not that big a pest , yet. But they are becoming more common.

I trap a lot of grey crows and magpies and do admit that many's a magpie has helped me spot a fox.

Lots around here Neil, but twenty minutes drive down the road in my hometown, there scarce as hen's teeth.

Some places do seem to have plenty Eddie. I have a fly tying friend who's always asking me to get him one or two but I have to admit that if I do get a nice specimen I'd think about getting it mounted. I think they're one of the nicest birds if done properly.

Another for the taxidermist is the Jackdaw on my lane. It's nearly pure white at this stage, and must be over 10 years old.

The thing about Jay's over here Neil, is that the only way to get one mounted is finding roadkill, seen as we can't shoot them here in the Republic. I only ever found one that way, and he's in my cabinet.lol

Well, you learn something new every day. I thought the Jay was on the quarry list, and I'm usually up to date on such matters. OOPs.

No harm done lad!?

I got carried away by a Jay as a child. I was 5 years old.

 

Luckily I managed to make my escape by grabbing a stick as we went over some tree tops, then, when we were close to the ground I reached up and forcibly inserted the stick into it's bum hole. The resultant shock forced the Jay to release it's grasp of my shoulders and I fell to the ground.

 

I awoke several hours later in a daze, miles from home, dressed in dungarees and a t shirt as night fell, luckily I was taken in and fostered by a vixen, who, though smelly provided me warmth and sustenance over the coming years.

 

I was raised for the next 3 years by foxes, until, on my 8th birthday purely by chance my father discovered me when I bolted from an earth he had just entered his old Patterdale terrier into.

 

He took me home, washed and fed me and I am still here to tell the tale.
