The
Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata) is a passerine bird in the family Corvidae,
native to North America. It is resident through most of eastern and central
United States and southern Canada, although western populations may be
migratory. It breeds in both deciduous and coniferous forests, and is
common near and in residential areas. It is predominately blue with a
white chest and under parts, and a blue crest. It has a black, U-shaped
collar around its neck and a black border behind the crest. Sexes are
similar in size and plumage, and plumage does not vary throughout the
year. Four subspecies of the Blue Jay are recognized.
The Blue Jay mainly feeds on nuts and seeds such as acorns, soft fruits,
arthropods, and occasionally small vertebrates. It typically gleans
food from trees, shrubs, and the ground, though it sometimes hawks
insects from the air.
It is an aggressive feeder. It's first love is peanuts in the shell.
