The Florida scrub-jay is a small, blue and gray bird native to the scrub habitats of Florida. It is the only bird species endemic to the state, meaning it is found nowhere else in the world. These birds are known for their distinctive calls and social behavior, often living in family groups. Florida scrub-jays primarily feed on insects, seeds, and fruits. They play a crucial role in their ecosystem by helping to disperse seeds, which promotes plant growth. Unfortunately, their populations are declining due to habitat loss and fragmentation, making conservation efforts essential for their survival.
