Information
The
blue jay is known as a trouble making bird. It often
travels in noisy family groups and they tend to scare
away all of the smaller birds. They eat the eggs and
the young babies of other birds and attack the nest
by scaring the other birds away by immitating the call
of the hawk. They are found through much of the areas
of North America. They grow to an average length of
11 inches in length and their wing span tends to be
16 inches on average. They reach sexual maturity less
then 1 year after birth and mate in the spring and summer.
They usually net 2 or 3 times a year and usually have
3-7 young in their nest. Their eggs are bluish or cream
colored with brown spots on them. Besides eating the
young from other smaller birds they eat insects, carrion,
fruits and seeds.
