About These Birds
Black-collared Jay
The Black-collared Jay is a striking, medium-sized jay of Andean cloud forests in Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Peru, with deep blue plumage, a black head, and a distinctive narrow black collar. It inhabits the canopy and edges of humid montane forests at elevations between 1,500 and 3,000 meters. It feeds on insects, berries, small vertebrates, and eggs.
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.
