Description
The Oak Jay (Garrulus glandarius) is a species of passerine bird in the Corvidae family.
The female and the male are only distinguished by their size, 30 to 36 cm, more modest in the female. This bird can weigh from 140 to 190 grams. The Oak Jay is recognizable by its colorful plumage, striped black and white on the head, whose feathers can stand up (erectile crest). Its beak is extended by a black stripe under the eye which gives the impression that it has some sort of black whiskers.
