Blue
The misadventures of my friend the Scrub Jay Blue - During a long three year recovery from spinal surgery and Encephalitis, Blue came into my life. I was outside my parent’s house when crows attacked a nest. They took the babies and ate them. Blue fell at my foot. He was fresh out of the egg, a day old at most. I called every animal rescue service, they told me to let him die. The parents abandoned him. I decided to rescue him. Blue saved my life too.

Dry Cat Food
Hard Boiled Egg Yolk
Mix and liquefy. Feed with a feeder or small spoon if necessary. As babies they eat every 30 minutes. This will slow as they mature.Good Diet for a baby Scrub still on liquid
A good diet –
Mix and liquefy the following as directed below
Water
Exact
Dry Cat Food
Hard Boiled Egg Yolk
Meal worms
Boiled carrots, very soft
Mix the product EXACT with crushed up dry cat food. 70% exact 15% % cat food; add 15% egg yolk, hard-boiled. . Crush the cat food up very fine. Use good cat food, no fancy flavored moist treats -- regular cat food. Add water until it is like watery oatmeal. This is not exact in percentages. As babies protein is key but the veggies are too.

For Adults and Babies -
Additionally for babies and adults you can buy Baby food, plain liquid veggies and fruit mixed with water only. Do not use any with additives. I use Beechnut brand. Blue loves and often acts like a baby when we feed him these nutritional treats. Some of the many ones we use are
Carrots
Sweet Potatoes
Pears
And nearly any veggie or fruit they make. Just make sure it has only liquefied vegetables and water only. Yellow veggies are great for the eyes. The most common ailment is eye problems in adult scrubs, as Blue can attest. As an Adult Blue gets a assortment of nuts which he needs for hiding and eating.
A bored bird is a sad bird. Toys and lots of stuff to hide and places to hide them are very important.
Protein and vegetables are key.
