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. These birds are known for their friendly and curious nature, often approaching humans in search of food. They have a distinctive gray plumage with a white head and black markings. Canada jays are highly adaptable and thrive in cold environments, making them well-suited for their habitat. They are known for their unique behavior of storing food, such as insects and berries, in tree crevices to eat later, which helps them survive harsh winters.
