-do the cardinals have about the same degree of wariness as the jays?

Hi Jim. The female Cardinals are fairly wary until the male comes along to get a peanut - then she makes an appearance as well. Blue Jays here aren't wary at all - they have no problem demanding food from me. haha :) I still haven't had a Blue Jay or Cardinal take food from my fingers though.
