How can you tell if blue jay is male or female?

Answer 1

A female blue jay looks like a male blue jay, although she is slightly smaller in size with a white belly and black wing markings. Both sexes have tall head crests that are raised when they are excited.

Answer 2

It's really difficult to. They actually look exactly alike. One thing to help is by looking at the size. A female blue jay is sometimes actually smaller. Other than that, sometimes, the marking pattern of black on a blue jay might differ out its gender. Such as a small, curlier black lining can refer to a female blue jay. A male has a darker, deeper, and thicker type of lining.

Answer 3

Male and female blue jays look so much alike (sexually monomorphic), even the experts sometimes have a hard time telling them apart, except during the mating season. This occurs in mid-March to as late as early July, and the female develops a pale "brood patch" on her abdomen. Its lack of feathers and profusion of small blood vessels mean this area remains warm for incubating the eggs and keeping the chicks comfortable.

Answer 4

I don't think there's any difference, besides the younger ones being darker than the adults, I think.

Answer 5

I believe the males are brighter, and the females are more gray in color.

Answer 6

i found out in a book that all males have blue tongues when they are born but as they get older they grow out of having a blue tongue and there tongue gets light pink
