Description
This bird was a frequent visitor to my feeders this past summer. Its beak seems to be missing a large piece of the upper portion. I think it was easy for him/her to scoop the seeds out of the feeders circular opening with its lower beak and then fly off to a branch to finish eating.

One reply on “Blue Jay with beak deformity.”
I have 2 Blue Jays coming to my feeder like this. Originally one’s beak was white on the tip and now it appears to have fallen off and he just has a stub but appears to be eating fine.
Now a second Blue Jay’s beak is becoming white and is breaking down in the middle. I live in Portland ME,
