They are rather noisey, though, eh? I never realised they're named after their noise

Newfoundland!
there's a species of Jay in the UK, which we just call a Jay. Also beautiful but much rarer than a bluejay.

i'm not a fan of pigeons, either. they live on the stairs outside my apartment and make stupid noises for ever. Seagulls amuse me here, since they're about 4000 miles from the sea

The gulls are THICK this year. We went boating at a lake not far from here, and the whole thing was white with feathers from the dumb birds. Tubing was disgusting, you came out with feathers plastered to your face. Ugh.

Yeah, well, I'm sure it was all mixed in there. It's next to impossible to keep them from defecating in the lake, despite all the laws regarding sewage.

No ,never,I am serious about crows being magnificent birds. I rarely see them anymore but I do smile at those rare times.Using the scarecrow as my avatar I couldn't resist taking a literal shot at the bird. I also know that they are not responsible for that very stupid game "crowquet". But years ago,when I lived near Detroit,I loved to watch the Tigers beat up on those damn Blue Jays.

You should come to Burnaby BC in the fall. There is approx 10,000 birds in this particular murder. It's amazing to watch. They fly around BCIT. The first time I saw it I thought something was horribly wrong...then somebody explained about the large flock. Now it's amazing to watch and to hear...and they'll fly so close to you....the trees are filled and the sky almost turns black!
