INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL BIRDS THAT YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE THERE ARE #9: BLUE JAY "THE BIRD THAT BECAME A CARICATURE" "MORDECAI" HD

in #photography7 years ago

THE BLUE JAY OR BLUE MAGPIE (CYANOCITTA CRISTATA) IS A NORTH AMERICAN CORVIDAE. IN INDIA IT IS CONSIDERED THE STATE BIRD OF ODISHA.

-PROBABLY RECOGNIZED BY A FAMOUS CARTOON CALLED "REGULAR SHOW". IN THIS SHOW, THIS BIRD TOWARDS THE ROLE OF "MORDECAI".

-IT IS FOUND MOSTLY IN MIXED FORESTS (INCLUDING AMERICAN BEECH AND VARIOUS OAK SPECIES), BUT IS ALSO VISIBLE IN PARKS AND GARDENS IN SOME CITIES.
ITS PLUMAGE IS PREDOMINANTLY BLUE HALF-BODY UP, FROM HEAD TO TAIL. IT HAS A PRONOUNCED CREST. THE COLOR CHANGES TO BLACK, BLUE AND WITH WHITE LISTS IN THE REAMS AND FLOWS. BELOW IT IS WHITE, WITH A BLACK COLLAR AROUND THE NECK AND SIDES OF THE HEAD, AND WITH THE WHITE FACE.

-AS IN OTHER BLUISH BIRDS, THE COLOR OF THE BLUE JAY DOES NOT DERIVE FROM PIGMENTS, BUT IS THE RESULT OF THE REFRACTION OF LIGHT DUE TO THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF THE FEATHERS; IF ONE OF THE FEATHERS IS CRUSHED, THE BLUE COLOR DISAPPEARS, BECAUSE THE STRUCTURE HAS BEEN DESTROYED. THIS IS CALLED STRUCTURAL STAINING

-HE FIND FOOD ON THE GROUND AND THE TREES, AND CONSUME PRACTICALLY ALL KINDS OF PLANT AND ANIMAL FOODS, SUCH AS ACORNS, GOATS, HERBACEOUS SEEDS, GRAINS, FRUITS, BERRIES, PEANUTS, BREAD, MEAT, EGGS AND OTHER CHICKS BIRDS, MANY TYPES OF INVERTEBRATES, PARKS LITTER AND BIRD FOOD.

-THE SINGING RESEMBLES THAT OF OTHER CORVIDS IN THAT IT IS VERY VARIED, BUT THE MOST COMMON SOUND IS THE VOICE OF ALARM, WHICH IS A LOUD CRY, ALMOST LIKE A GULL. THEY ALSO EMIT A SHARP YAIE-YAIE, WHOSE FREQUENCY INCREASES AS THE BIRD GETS EXCITED.

Interesting thing I noticed most people see blue birds and think they are blue jays. But i wondered if they were actually blue jays, seems as though people commonly mistake the blue bird for the blue jay.

nope, those are cinnamon flycatcher with a blue variation, it often happens that the color confuse them. thanks for coment :D
