Blue jays are the only bird that I've seen dive bomb cats. I'd much rather have the cardinals around than the blue jays

The barn swallows we have around here will do that too. Really annoys the cats. I dont know if they kick or grab fur; but the cats will suddenly flinch and look up. Super acrobatic birds, I love watching them.

In the south of England we now have this problem with feral ring-necked parakeets.

Who doesn’t want to see something amazing like a parakeet in a random British back garden? All the other birds, that’s who!

I have 5 blue jays in my yard and they don't care about the sparrows, finches, etc at all. They only feud with the crows.
