About These Birds
Blauhäher
Der Blauhäher ist ein mutiges, intelligentes Mitglied der Rabenvögel, bekannt für sein auffälliges Gefieder und seine lauten Rufe. Als wichtiger Verbreiter von Eichen versteckt er jeden Herbst Tausende Eicheln. Zu seinem komplexen Sozialverhalten gehört das Nachahmen von Bussardrufen, um andere Vögel von Futterstellen zu vertreiben.
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.
