Where does the Florida Scrub-Jay live?
In working on my latest series of books, Wild About Florida, I became interested in Florida scrub jays and also asked this question. I found one researcher who studied the birds at Archbold Biological Station, the foremost research station when it comes to the Florida scrub jay. Dr. Aurélie Coulon estimated that only five percent of the state's original scrub habitat, the only place these birds can survive in the wild, remains. Her findings determined that there are fewer than 8,000 Florida Scrub-Jays remaining in the world. This was published in the scientific journal, Molecular Ecology in April 2008.

Why is it illegal to shoot songbirds?
Yes, it is illegal to shoot or kill Cardinals ("red birds"), there are various protective laws in place for them and other songbirds that are listed on the endangered species lists (and, in the US, there are also Migratory Bird Act protections that apply). Cardinals are in danger of extinction (see related link for their listing on the Red List endangered species list). Additional note: Much of the decline in songbird population is blamed on domestic cat predation. If you have a pet cat, please keep a bell on its collar so the birds get a fair warning that they are being stalked by a serious killing machine. Better still, do not let your pet cats out of the house unless they are on a leash so they are not able to kill songbirds at such an alarming rate. Cats, as non-native predators, are responsible for killing millions of songbirds each year in North America alone. A Wisconsin study estimated that cats kill 39 million birds in that state alone each year, mostly songbirds. See the related link below for information on how you can prevent your cat from being part of the problems contributing to the endangerment of songbirds.
It is senseless to kill any songbird. According to the IUCN Redlist, the cardinal has a worlrdwide population of approximately 100 million birds. They are listed as a species of least concern, not endangered.

What does it mean when a blue jay hits your window but lives?

What are Common causes of zebra finch deaths?
I searched this question after losing 2 female zebra finches in a row. I found the answer. If you don't remove the outer covering of the cuttlebone, they eat the hard shell which causes internal organ damage and death. Scoop or cut out the inner, soft material of the cuttlebone in one piece and wire it to the side of the cage. Discard the rest. I wish I had learned htis sooner. Now, I'm watching the male for signs of stress, before I embark on buying yet another replacement finch.
Other causes of finch death include getting too cold, dirty water or lack of water, lack of grit, mites and lack of seed for over 24 hours.

The female jays, like the other songbirds, develop a
naked portion of their stomach skin called the brood or incubation patch. This area does not have feathers and are filled with small blood vessels. It actually provides heat during the incubation of eggs and later on for the young blue jays.
