Blue Jays can be troublesome because of their habit of scratching the 
feeder trough and scattering as many seeds as possible on the ground.  I 
have adjusted the springs on the trough cover so that it closes under 
the full weight of birds as large as a Blue Jay.  This guy has learned 
that, if he carries a part of his weight with his wings, the trough 
stays open.  He can be seen making repeated trips, fluttering to access 
the trough, and flying away with a mouth full of seeds.
