Blue jays are pretty smart. Sometimes, "bird brain" doesn't fit very well.

Blue Jays can be troublesome because of their habit of scratching the
feeder trough and scattering as many seeds as possible on the ground. I
have adjusted the springs on the trough cover so that it closes under
the full weight of birds as large as a Blue Jay. This guy has learned
that, if he carries a part of his weight with his wings, the trough
stays open. He can be seen making repeated trips, fluttering to access
the trough, and flying away with a mouth full of seeds.
