Best Blue Jay Bird Feeders: 8 Listings Compared by Material, Capacity and Squirrel Protection
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Details
Blue jays are large, bold birds that come to peanuts, suet and seed trays, and they tend to crowd smaller feeders. This guide compares eight bird feeder listings from the research file checked on 2026-10-11 that name blue jays or similar large birds in the title or bullets. The original keyword asked for a DIY feeder, but none of the eight listings is a DIY kit, plan or build-it-yourself project. All eight are manufactured feeders, so this page compares them by type, capacity, material and squirrel protection, as each listing states them.
Quick answer
For whole peanuts, the listings that name peanuts directly are the UDYJFM wooden feeder, the Songbird Essentials wreath feeder and the two crow and blue jay peanut feeder listings. For a feeder that holds the most seed, the Buteafly listing states a 5 pound capacity, and the Yieach listing states 5 liters. For squirrel protection, the Buteafly and ZZOOEE listings describe weight-activated designs, and the Yieach title says squirrel proof. If you want a wooden feeder, the UDYJFM and BalterFF listings are the only wooden options in the set.

How we chose the listings and how to read them
All eight listings come from the research file for this keyword, checked on 2026-10-11. The set includes listings that name blue jays in the title or bullets, plus one wooden feeder that names blue in the title. The comparison sticks to what each listing states, including conflicting pieces and unit count fields.
For squirrel protection, the listing wording matters more than the feeder type. See the free standing squirrel proof bird feeder guide and the Brome squirrel buster guide for other squirrel proof listings. For peanut feeding in particular, see the whole peanut feeder guide.
Worked example: seed capacity in pounds and refills
Suppose you want a feeder that you fill once and keep full for a week. The capacities in the listings are stated in different units, so convert them first. The Buteafly listing states 5 pounds. The ZZOOEE listing states 3 pounds. The Songbird Essentials listing states 3 ounces, which is 0.1875 pounds. The Yieach listing states 5 liters, but it does not state a weight for that volume.
Compare two fills of the ZZOOEE feeder, which hold 6 pounds in total, with one full Buteafly fill of 5 pounds. Two ZZOOEE fills hold one pound more than one Buteafly fill. A single Buteafly fill holds about two pounds more than a single ZZOOEE fill, so it needs fewer refills. The listings do not state the empty weight of the Buteafly or ZZOOEE feeder, so the full weight is not known from the listing data.
What the listings do not say

- The EazziSwitch listing gives 2 pieces in the pieces field and 1 count in the unit count field.
- The Yieach listing states a power source field of hand powered, which does not describe a feeder.
- The BalterFF title names blue, cardinal and finch but not blue jays.
