The Jay {Garruh(s glandar-ius): This well-known and 
beautiful denizen of woodland districts is an object of hatred 
and persecution by gamekeepers. The nest usually is found in 
the middle of a wood and situated among the thinner branches 
of a large bush or small tree. The Jay is particularly fond 
of eggs, and sucks all it can obtain in the woods. In captivity 
it much appreciates hard-boiled eggs, and also the remains of 
insect food left over from the dishes of insectivorous birds. 
The Jay combines beauty of plumage with intelligence, and 
is, therefore, a favourite among students of this group. The 
bird shows to great advantage in an aviary, with its blue 
wings and shades of rich brown and white in its plumage.
