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.
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.
