Though their heads and backs are a softer blue, it’s the wings and tail that really shine.
And you know what’s crazy?
There’s no blue pigment in a blue jay’s feathers. The feathers are physically brown due to a high concentration of melanin.
In fact, there are very few truly blue things in nature. Usually, it’s actually reflected light.
Pretty cool, right?
