@Soreth Prithee, what is this otherworldly beast, with the head of a bird and the body of a bird?!

re: ornithology, shitpost, highly urgent 

@zebratron2084 They're the local Jay species in the Pacific Northwest. Farther south in Oregon, you get Scrub Jays. Here we have 'em with mohawks, bright blue eyebrows, and their heads dyed black. I put out peanuts for theme every day, and in return they try to trick me into putting out _more_ peanuts.

@zebratron2084

you know if they are synthetic, some materials that start black could well end up blue as they age.
