    Blue jays have caterpillars and mice as their food. An increase in the blue jay population will cause a decrease in the caterpillar and mice population since more blue jays will eat caterpillars and mice. As time passes, the blue jays will have a problem finding food since the caterpillar and mice population has decreased, so the blue jay population will eventually lower as well.
