Blue Jay Colorful Bird
Blue jays offer beauty with brains, as they are considered amongst the most intelligent birds in the world. It’s easy to spot them by their distinctive “jay jay” sounding calls. Blue jays have a colorful plumage that consists of a clever combination of blue, black, and white.
Being intelligent birds, they can mimic the call of other birds. For instance, they can imitate the sounds of hawks to trick other birds. In captivity as pets, they’ve been noted to imitate human speech and even the sounds of other pets. They can be cunning to the extent of stealing the nestlings and eggs of other birds.
They inhabit woodlands across most parts of North America particularly eastern and central North America.
Although blue jays naturally live in small groups, they can swarm into massive flocks in their hundreds when they migrate to the south during winter.
Puzzling enough, scientists still don’t fully understand the migratory behavior of blue jays. Some do not migrate during winter, choosing instead to remain in their natural habitats. Moreover, researchers have also noted that there are no blue jays that consistently migrate every year.
