Blue Jay

Why did the girl bring lipstick and eye shadow to school?

She had a make-up exam!

Interesting Fact: The pigment in Blue Jay feathers is melanin, which is brown. The blue color is caused by scattering light through modified cells on the surface of the feather barbs. ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Blue_Jay/lifehistory )

    So timely because I was screaming with excitement yesterday because I happen to see a blue bird on our backyard. I think it’s a Blue Jay. Great photo.

    I shared the joke with my daughter who laughed and said it was, “cute”. Very handsome blue jay!
