Never seen jays or crows attack other birds. I have seen both chase off hawks. I watched jays chase a hawk yesterday and they are extremely loud when they do so and it alerts the other birds to scatter and get to a safe place. I have seen the squirrels hide as well when jays and crows chase off hawks.
