Spring is on its way, which means Blue Jays are coming out to play! These helpful birds will speed up the growth of your trees if you build them a home and harvest spring crops regularly. You can also earn lovely rewards by feeding the Blue Jays, including the exclusive Coastal Blue Jay!
Note: The Rare Coastal Blue Jay will be available to use on Trees and Groves for 20 uses. After 20 uses, the Rare Coastal Blue Jay l will expire and become a pet (it will count towards your Animal Max Cap, but will not require food nor will it help on trees).
If you are level 11 or higher, you will see the following pop-up. Click on the “Place Blue Jay House” button to place the House on your farm.
Building the Blue Jay House:
Your first step is building your Blue Jay House. You will need the following items to start construction:
- Blue Jay Boxes
- Blue Jay Nests
- Blue Jay Posts
To collect Blue Jay Boxes, click on the “Post” button to post to your Facebook wall; you will get the parts when your friends click on it, or when you click on a similar newsfeed post.
Click on the “Ask” button to send requests for Blue Jay Nests and Blue Jay Posts to your Neighbors. If you do not wish to wait for your friends, you can skip any of these tasks for Farm Bucks.
Once you have collected the required items, click on the “Start Building” button at the bottom of the construction menu.
Now that your Blue Jay House is almost complete, you will need some help from your Neighbors to finish the job. The Blue Jay House requires three additional helpers, so click on the “Ask Friends” button to send some crew requests to your Friends. When they accept, you will see the spots in the Building Menu begin to fill. If you do not wish to wait for your friends, click on the “Hire One” button to purchase crew members with Farm Bucks. Once you have successfully filled all four spots, click on the “Finish and Share” button.
