What's up with the flying jerk?

We have a new resident.  A blue jay that likes to spend the early part of his mornings tap-tap-tapping seed pods against the gutter rail.  Its more than a little annoying.

In the great American spirit of introducing new species to address specific problems without contemplating the effect said introduction would have on the ecosystem as a whole, I'm thinking of tossing a badger up there in the gutter.  Or a python.  Or a baboon.
