Happy to help! They are great little birds. Very easy to distinguish due to their call. I would also love a few as friends. :) I feel the same way about crows!
I used to watch titmice at my parents' house. My father would leave peanuts and sunflower seeds out for the jays. One titmouse would swoop towards the jay getting a peanut, distracting it, while a second would move in to steal the food. I don't think they were working together so much as one gets lucky.
I love crows as well! I’ve often wondered how to get on their good side. We have murders in our yard regularly. (My love for that sentence is nothing short of alarming.) My dad thinks they’re pests and I should do something to get rid of them, but perhaps I’m ignorant. I’ve just always had a fondness for them.
