The blue jay similar to the British jay lives in North America and Canada. Blue-hued birds derive their colour from light interference created in the internal structure of the feather; if a blue feather is crushed, the blue disappears as the structure is destroyed. This is referred to as structural coloration. Blue Jay Latin Name: Cyanocitta cristata Size: 22-30cm Food: Nuts and seeds such as acorns, soft fruits, arthropods, and occasionally small vertebrates.
