Yes, the adults have no fear.  The house where I grew up had a tree-lined 
divider down the middle of the street.  A baby jay fell from the nest to the 
street.  My dad saw it fall, and went out to move it out of the traffic 
lane.  As he bent over, one of the adult jays dived down and hit him in the 
head.

Hawks do frighten them, though.  A few days ago, a hawk landed in a pine 
tree near my feeders.  All of the birds scattered, and a jay started 
screaming his head off.  I frightened the hawk away, and tranquility 
returned.
