Blue Jay

Blue Jay

OK! Blue Jay! New! Bird! Day!

This is my personal favourite bird, and I finally got around to drawing it. Blue is my favourite colour, which is probably the biggest reason for liking this beautiful bird. I can also relate with its cranky and aggressive nature. Of course, there’s also the baseball connection – the Philadelphia Phillies briefly, inconsistently and perhaps never even officially were nicknamed the Blue Jays in the late 1940s and early 1950s. 😉

We once had a blue jay get trapped in our chimney, which my Dad was able to successfully remove, completely unharmed, and release back into the wild.
