Blue jay care of its young?

Answer 1

they live about 6 years

The female jays, like the other Songbirds, develop a

naked portion of their stomach skin called the brood or incubation patch. This area does not have feathers and are filled with small blood vessels. It actually provides heat during the incubation of eggs and later on for the young blue jays.

Blue jays are vertebrates

Answer 2

A blue jay can mimic the sound a hawk makes in order to tell other blue jays that a hawk is close by. The blue jay is territorial and will chase humans and other animals away from their nest. In June and September the blue jay will shed their feathers.

Answer 3

Blue jays typically form monogamous pairs where both parents collaborate in caring for their young. The female blue jay primarily incubates the eggs while the male assists in supplying food for the nestlings. Both parents take turns feeding and protecting the young birds until they are ready to leave the nest.
