Lots of excellent choices listed here already. I would say the Whiskey Jack (Grey Jay).
Just that you can put out your hand with a few crumbs in it and they will fly right into your hand and sit there eating. It's amazing while it's happening.


I love the gray jays. Here is a pic of yours truly feeding some at Manning Park, just outside of Hope, BC.

Aren't they something? I went to Manning park a long time ago with a group of friends after finishing work late into the night. It was just amazing though I can't remember what it was we were there for. Some very nice people who ran a little restaurant just before you hit the park got up early and fed all of us breakfast. I remember it being very beautiful there with next to no one about.
Yes, I remember from my book now, Canada Jay is the official name. Very fitting indeed. They had no hesitation whatsoever to fly into my hand. The only other Jay we get here is the --. We don't get the famous Blue Jay.
