must have thought it was a butterfly
                                          though not a very smart butterfly
it was smarter than thatthey were smarter than that
                                                         but maybe not  he couldnt differentiate one from another
maybe the few he interacted with were females  his natural inclination assumed they were
as was his experience with females of his species 

he was inclined to say females of most species were smarter than the males

   shrubjays 
               the California edition

like bluejays the East of the Rockies edition 
                                               an never the two shall meet naturally the mountains unless a preternatural shrub or blue was undaunted which made him think of Bachs Jonathan Livingston Seagull 
                                                                                                               had to read it like he had to get highhad to take LSDhad to do other psychedelics
                                                                       had to exceed natural impediments

he used an old beatup tin cup actually a TWO CUP measure to feed kibble to his feral outdoor cats

having fed the four of them he set the cup down on the porch railing kibbles remained he had thought he heard something over his head he looked didnt see anythingHide ‘n Seek jay concealed itselfsquatted in the raingutter 

then walking away on the wraparound overlooking the sideyard to say Gmornin to his white sage Ayo – Joy English walnut Eye Idi – Eagle Skinny he still had no idea what Skinny was she was tall and slender and Slim she was also an English walnut although he did not transplant her 
                                                         and saying hello he heard a scuffle a dullring of the tin cup on the redwood deck
saw a shrubjay leapaway
                             it tried to land on it feed like a sparrow at seed

the heavyweight stood on the blacktop drive bobbing waiting  waiting for him to toss the spilt kibble to it
Boid
      they all were Boids
he couldnt distinguish one from another but it or they humoured him by their willingness to eat catfud

as it was
           he was trying different canned dogfoods to determine which appealed to his taste budswhich texture appealed most
Dinki-Di
           couldnt find it
Mad Max in Mad Max 2 turned him onto the idea
                                                    nourishment to get him through his old age

   he did say females were smarter
