Blue Jay Saga

My Twitter thread is about the daily saga that goes on in my back yard among a group of Blue Jays and a single source of food. Everyday, it is this squawk-fest on whose turn it is to take a peanut. Blue Jays are pretty aggressive anyway so its cool to watch.

Eventually though, they get down to the last peanut and that’s when the shit show really starts.

I liked this format on Twitter using a thread, telling a bit of the story at a time. The format itself naturally builds suspense if you take breaks at the right parts. And, it allows you to gather your thoughts, you can plan it out with a beginning, middle and end. You can establish a regular routine and then something happens. Then comes the climax and the big reveal.

Here’s the link to see for yourself:

Blue Jays are a breed of bird that stay around during the winter months. So like last year, I hung up a feeder ring and filled it with shelled peanuts…their favourite food. #exsm3989
