🌎 Plush-crested jay (Cyanocorax chrysops) The plush-crested jay has a striking appearance: a black head and throat with a distinctive, soft crest on its crown, bright yellow eyes, and vivid blue body plumage contrasting with a creamy-white breast and underparts. It is widely distributed across central-southern South America, including southwestern Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and northeastern Argentina, inhabiting various forests and even urban areas. These intelligent, social birds often form small, cooperative flocks. They are omnivorous, foraging from the ground to the forest canopy for seeds, insects, and small vertebrates. They are known for their varied vocalizations and curiosity. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) 📷: Photo by Beto_MdP via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/magpie-common-magpie-crested-magpie-7594977/ KMJW
