Blue jays are common in Florida.  These conspicuous, noisy birds adapt well to suburban back yards and city parks.  They are often seen at bird feeders and have a reputation for eating the eggs and nestlings of other birds.  They also feed on fruit, nuts, seeds and insects and lizards.  They sometimes cache seeds for later use.
