The Blue Jay belongs to the Corvidae family of birds. Corvids which include Crows, Ravens, Magpies, and Jays not only exhibit a very high level of intelligence among all birds (judging by their problem solving abilities and spatial memory), but they also have extensive species specific vocabularies. The Blue Jay is one of the few birds I still hear make noises with which I am not familiar (today in fact). The Blue Jay is Cyanocitta Cristata by genus and species, which means Chattering Crested Blue Bird from the Greek.
