I saw a blue jay on a branch just like fall off. It was pretty high and it looked down at the ground and then just fell off on purpose and gravity took it head first. It was all relaxed and resigned and for sure going to smash into the ground into its head and maybe commit suicide we can’t know what was going on in its life. It could have some problems we don’t know about and that’s why it’s trying to fall onto its head into the ground. The thing is that we know that despite the struggles its dealing with that we aren’t privy to the blue jay should choose to live. The blue jay doesn’t know about that though because of their society it’s not as vigilant as ours regarding being strong advocates against such terrible self harm. We can safely assume that about blue jays. It made me terribly sad that the blue jay was going to land on its head from falling no matter why or why not it was happening it was sad all around. Also this was happening while I was peeing and looking out the bathroom window so I did have to pay attention to that at the same time because the house was recently cleaned. It was a pretty complicated moment. But an instant before the blue jay was about to impact the ground and die it did this little swoop arc thing by way of a quick what-have-you with its wings and tail and then landed on its feet very elegantly and just fine. So the entire time it was just showing off like a hot shot. I’ve heard this about blue jays come to think of it. I’ve heard they’re known to be dicks and have a penchant for just kind of being nonchalant and dicky for the most part.
