I see what you did there! I didn't realize Jays and crows were both in that family. We have the Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata). Not my favorite bird.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should have included the North American Blue Jay.
DeleteYes, the North American Blue Jay is a beautiful, clever, and saucy bird that deserves to be in the Corvid 19 :)
DeleteI might change one for a blue jay later today. After all, we don't want to go to war with Canada or that small country just below you!
DeleteThey are beautiful AND smart. Crows recognize faces; I don't know if all members of the corvid species do.
ReplyDeleteSome corvids - notably the raven can even be taught to talk - albeit repeating sounds.
DeleteCorvids are very intelligent birds.
ReplyDeleteWe often watch magpies in our garden. Cunning as well as intelligent.
DeleteLook up Stellar Jays. They look like the rock stars of the corvid family.
ReplyDeleteI thought Stella Jays was a porn star!
DeleteAny bird with blue colouring looks nice. The Sri Lanka blue magpie is interesting. I wonder if it was once the Ceylon blue magpie.
ReplyDeleteYes it was!
DeleteBeautiful, all of them. The Florida scrub jay is my favourite of this lot. I see and hear the Eurasian jay quite a lot in my area, as well as jackdaws and crows.
ReplyDeleteI didn‘t know about the extinct bird, completely new to me.
Pica Pica- Magpie. I always salute them.
ReplyDeleteYour parents taught you well Dave!
DeleteSo many corvids! I'm a big fan of the Australian Magpie. Their call is beautiful and they can be very friendly to humans if given some encouragement
ReplyDeleteAre they after something?
DeleteI've never in my life seen a Florida scrub jay. That I'm aware of, anyway. How odd.
ReplyDeleteI included that one specially for you. It is now vulnerable to extinction and is found south of you on both the west and east sides of the Florida peninsula.
DeleteCorvids always intelligent. Brings back a memory of the jackdaws in the Bath garden. One young fledgling had flown down from the great height of a tree. The parents fussed and yelled so I went out got a large branch, the young jackdaw hopped on the branch and I put it on some trellising. But still the parents weren't happy, and kept flying to the old holly tree on the bank. So I once more moved the bird to the tree and the garden went quiet, to everyone's satisfaction!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice that you have remembered that incident so well.
DeleteWe get a lot of Corvids in my garden - thankfully not in my house!
ReplyDeleteDo you get Jeremy Corvid?
DeleteA scrub jay! Now you're making me homesick. Some of those birds are incredible -- the Bornean and Sri Lankan magpies in particular.
