Hi, everyone! I saw some unusual behavior & was wondering if anyone else had seen this, as well as whether this was normal. We had a Steller's jay outside our back door the other day, waiting for me to toss peanuts out for it. After I obliged, it hopped over, picked up a peanut, & proceeded to swallow it whole! I'd never seen this done by any bird, & was curious as to whether this might have been a young, inexperienced bird, or whether this is common behavior.

Thanks in advance for any feedback!
