About These Birds
Azure-hooded Jay
The Azure-hooded Jay is a corvid found in cloud forests of Mexico and Central America, weighing about 96.8g with a wingspan of 24.8cm. It has a distinctive azure-blue hood contrasting with its dark body and is a social, vocal species. It forages in small groups for insects, fruit, and small vertebrates in montane forest.
Eurasian Magpie
The Eurasian magpie is one of the most intelligent animals on Earth and the first non-mammal demonstrated to recognize itself in a mirror. These bold corvids build elaborate domed nests of sticks and have a well-known attraction to shiny objects, though this reputation may be exaggerated.
