The 25 MOST Common Birds in Canada! (2022)
#17. Blue Jay
Identifying Characteristics:
Backs are covered in beautiful blue feathers with black bars throughout. Underparts are white.
Their head is surrounded by a black necklace and has a blue crest on top.
Males and females look the same.
Some people dislike Blue Jays, but I love their bold personalities. Their high intelligence makes these birds interesting to observe, not to mention their plumage is stunning.Typically they visit the feeders noisily, fit as much food as possible in their throat sacks, and leave quickly to cache their bounty. My favorite foods to use are whole peanuts, as Blue Jays are one of the only birds that can crack open the shells to access the inside! You can also use sunflower seeds and corn to attract them.
