If you want to keep them off your little-bird feeder (of any size or type),
simply surround that feeder with wire fencing of sufficient size to let the
blue jays and smaller in.  I did so on a platform feeder on a pole.  But
frankly I can't see why you'd want these interesting birds completely
eliminated.  It's been 150 years since they've been present in New England
and I for one am glad to have them back.  Yes, I feed them, but they also
eat apples from the several trees in the yard and insects out of the garden.
