The Canada Jay, also known as the Gray Jay or Perisoreus canadensis, is a medium-sized bird found in the forests of Canada and parts of the northern United States. It has a soft gray plumage, a white face, and a distinctive black crown. Known for its curious and friendly nature, the Canada Jay often approaches humans and is commonly seen in national parks. These birds are highly adaptable and thrive in cold environments, making them well-suited for the boreal forests. They are known for their unique behavior of caching food, storing it for later use, which helps them survive harsh winters.
