About These Birds
Beautiful Jay
The Beautiful Jay is a rare, near-threatened jay restricted to the humid cloud forests of the western Andes in Colombia and Ecuador. It has striking brilliant blue plumage with a black mask, and is considered one of the most attractive jays. It forages in small groups in the forest canopy and midstory, feeding on insects, fruits, and 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.
