Nuts, especially peanuts. They both love them. They both go after sunflower seeds too.
Blue Jays and squirrels eat fruit, nuts, berries, seeds, and suet. At the feeder their first choice would be peanuts in the shell. In the wild, blue jays eat lots of different foods. Though they are primarily vegetarian squirrels and jays also will eat caterpillars, beetles and other small bugs. They might eat eat eggs and nestlings if there is an opportunity.
To prepare for harsh winter weather Jays will collect acorns and other tree nuts and cache or hide them up to 2.5 miles from their original source and retrieve them when needed.
This behavior of burying seeds has greatly helped with the range expansion of many oak species. The rapid northward dispersal of oaks after the ice age may have resulted from the northern transport of acorns by Jays.
In one research study, 50 Blue Jays were observed selecting and caching 150,000 acorns over a period of 28 days. Each bird cached a total of 3,000 acorns by selecting and hiding an average of 107 acorns per day.
The eastern fox squirrel is a solitary animal, although it will share a feeding area with other squirrels. It spends most of the day eating and gathering and storing food. Squirrels eat acorns, hickory, walnut, beech, mulberry, Hawthorne and birdseeds. It also eats green shoots and buds, fruits, berries, corn, insects, moths, and beetles. Nuts are stored for use in the winter. The eastern fox squirrel locates its stashes using its keen sense of smell.
birds and squirrels compete for resources because squirrels get their food from the trees, which bothers the bird because it is in the birds home ,so they compete each other for resources!

Bears, marmots, mice, squirrels, quail, robins, deer, and blue jays live on Mount Whitney. Campers should take precautions regarding bears and marmots. Marmots will chew through a tent to get to any food they can smell. Food and empty food containers must be stored in bear-proof boxes.
To be honest, I guess But since it's cat food, probably not.
Birds and butterflies migrate south for the winter. Squirrels, blue jays, and chipmunks put food away during the summer when there is a lot of it so they will have food once winter comes and food is scarce. hibernation is also an adaptation :)
blue jays live all across Canada.
A group of blue jays is called a band or party
