Called also jay pie, Jenny jay, and k[ae]. The common blue jay ({Cyanocitta cristata}.), and the related species, are brilliantly colored, and have a large erectile crest. The California jay (Aphelocoma Californica), the Florida jay (Aphelocoma Floridana), and the green jay (Xanthoura luxuosa), of Texas and Mexico, are large, handsome, crested species. The Canada jay ({Perisoreus Canadensis}), and several allied species, are much plainer and have no crest. See Blue jay, and {Whisky jack}. [1913 Webster]
