The Jays are found in both the Old World and theNew, usually in wooded districts. All have harsh, dis-cordant voices, but wonderful ability to mimic otherbirds. Many of them are very beautifully coloured.They have long tails, and short rounded wings. Acharacter that distinguishes the Jays is their pecu-liarly light, bounding hop. The European Jay is a prettily coloured birdinhabiting many parts of Europe, and is especiallyabundant in Great Britain, in spite of ruthless perse-cution at the hands of game-keepers, who grosslyexaggerate the harm it does. It feeds largely onacorns and other forest seeds. See Plate 20, Fig. 119. The American Blue Jay is very striking in colour,being beautifully marked in various shades of blue,with a mixture of black and white.

The Canada Jay is a slightly smaller form than itsblue relative, and is ashy grey in colour, with blackand white markings. It is found in the northern partof this continent, coming southward in winter as far asNew England. The Jackdaw and the Magpie are two corranonEuropean birds of the Crow family, which share thecharacteristics of the tribe in general. Magpies havevery long tails, and in form are more graceful than thetree Crows. Both species are easily tamed and taughtto imitate the human voice to some extent.
