Black-headed Jay

Garrulus lanceolatus

Least Concern

The Black-headed Jay is an intelligent corvid of the Himalayan foothills and adjacent mountains. It uses a strong bill and flexible behavior to take insects, fruit, seeds, eggs, carrion, or scraps, and many jays, magpies, crows, and ravens cache food, solve problems, and give varied social calls.
