Bluejays Endangered? NIMBY

Diving from the tallest trees pretending to be hawks to scare off the house finches and cardinals, bluejays daily decimate the seeds in the carefully-filled birdfeeders in my backyard. Nevermind that the P & C reported today that their numbers are down 50 percent since 1967. Not in my backyard!

And what's doing most of them in? Pet cats!

Except I've never seen a cat get a bluejay & I've had at least one for more than 30 years. My birdfeeders are watched avidly by my own cat plus two feral cats and their four kittens. Watched. I think the bluejay would have to be half-dead already to get caught by a cat.
