🟦 Blue Jays are nature's storytellers, sharing their beauty and charm wherever they go. Mimic and Echo, our resident Blue Jay Ambassadors, remind us of the importance of living in harmony with wildlife.
🌳 Why are Blue Jays Important?
Blue Jays help disperse seeds to spread plants, especially oak trees. They keep insect populations down and help clean up the environment by eating carrion.
