Azure” Jay?

Azure Jay (Gralha-azul) bird.

The Azure Jay (Cyanocorax caeruleus) is a beautiful bird belonging to the Corvidae family, the same family as the Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata). This intelligent bird is native to southern Brazil, particularly found in the state of Paraná (where Ana Paula was born and raised), where it thrives in the lush Atlantic Forest. The Azure Jay is the official state bird of Paraná, symbolizing the state’s rich biodiversity, and it plays a key role in the ecosystem by feeding on Araucaria pine nuts (Araucaria angustifolia), helping disperse seeds.
