My son Alexander and I arrived home on Wednesday evening ( Apr 26 ) to see a blue jay trying to grab branches from the plum tree in our front yard . The jay ( I assumed it was a he ) tried unsuccessfully a number of times and then started a call deeper than the regular call . His mate joined him .
According to the above context, answer the following question.
Why would the blue jay be out in front of the home ?


The home had a tree in the lawn that had a favorite food of the bird .
