About These Birds
Black-chested Jay
The Black-chested Jay is a medium-sized, boldly patterned jay of humid lowland forests in Central America and northwestern South America, with a blue body, black head and breast patch, and a white forehead patch. It ranges from Honduras south to Ecuador and Venezuela, inhabiting forest edges, secondary growth, and sometimes gardens. It feeds on fruits, large insects, and occasionally small vertebrates.
Andaman Treepie
The Andaman Treepie is a vulnerable corvid with a 23.3 cm wingspan, weighing 102.5 grams, endemic to the Andaman Islands. It inhabits forest and woodland, foraging omnivourously for insects, fruit, and small animals. Its restricted range on the islands makes it conservation-dependent.
