Sex: Males are slightly larger than females.

Range: Eastern USA and some southern parts of Canada

Nesting and eggs: Blue Jays are not very picky about their nesting locations, as long as the tree is high enough for their eggs to be safe from land predators. They usually make their nests cup shaped and out of twigs, small roots, bark, moss, cloth, paper, and feathers, sometimes adding a little mud to hold it together. Their eggs have a length of about 1.1 inches and a breadth of about 0.8 inches. These eggs come in light shades of blue, brown, green, and yellow with dark brown or gray speckles.

Food: nuts, seeds, small fruits and berries, grains, and worms.

Population: 13 million individuals.

Fun Fact: Blue Jays sometimes make hawk-like sounds to check if there are any hawks in the area, or to distract other birds away from a food source.
