Black-throated+Magpie+Jay

Beautiful, large, and colorful, the Black-Throated Magpie Jay is one of the Central Florida Zoo’s greatest treasures. Standing at eight inches tall and weighing around 225 to 251 grams this bird has a blue body, white chest and black throat. Favorite foods include fruits, berries, nuts, invertebrates and tiny rodents. Their habitat consists of open woodland and forest areas located along the Pacific slope of Mexico to Arizona. They tend to nest in thorny trees, are very social, and are usually found in small noisy groups. You can watch one of our magpie jays fly duing our bird demonstration every Saturday and Sunday.
