2023 Bonanza Bird #8
Discover the Black-throated Magpie-Jay: Mexico's Long-Tailed Wonder
Meet the latest addition to Birdorable: the Black-throated Magpie-Jay joins our cute cartoon corvid family today as our 2023 Bonanza rolls on!
Native to the northwestern regions of Mexico, particularly the states of Sinaloa and Nayarit, this striking bird is a visual treat with its vivid blue and white plumage and extraordinarily long tail – one of the longest of any type of corvid. Though they have a relatively small native range, the population is strong and the species is not considered to be threatened. Forest fragmentation may prove to be a problem for the species as human development expands.
The Black-throated Magpie-Jay is an omnivore; it enjoys a mix of insects, seeds, and fruits.
Black-throated Magpie-Jays are known for their vocal stylings. They can be loud and raucous when gathering in groups; sometimes their calls sound like parrots!
