This time of year most of the birds need more grit for their gizzards. Most of the dirt, etc that they need is frozen, so I guess the ashes might be for its grit. You'll frequently see a dozen or so birds on the ground pecking after a town highway truck has sanded the back roads, they need the grit.

I remember how blue jays took an interest in the side of a painted rental house where I lived. How could the paint have been good for them? Another person I spoke to about this knew of blue jays doing this on another house— > On Feb 7, 2018, at 7:52 AM, kmilk <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > In the winter, we spread a bit of ashes from our wood stove on the garden (ashes being alkaline and our soil tends to be acidic). This morning, I watched a pair of blue jays pecking about in the patch of ashes. Only the jays seen doing this.
