About These Birds
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.
Black-headed Jay

It inhabits coniferous and mixed forests of the Himalayas from northern Pakistan through India to Bhutan, typically at elevations between 1,500 and 3,500 meters. It feeds on acorns, seeds, insects, and small vertebrates, and is known to cache food for winter.
