Biology
The preferred habitat of the Jay is the deciduous forest: oak, chestnut and scrub woods. Very grumpy animal and difficult to approach; it lives in small groups flying from tree to tree. The mating period begins in March-April. The couples isolate themselves and provide for the construction of a very rough nest generally on top of the trees, where 5-6 eggs are laid which are incubated for 16-17 days by both parents; the young leave the nest after 19-29 days. Generally there is only one annual brood. The diet is mainly vegetable (acorns, chestnuts etc.) but also of animal origin (eggs and small mammals).
Seemingly heavy flight, beaten and gliding.
