They build their nests in trees or shrubs using twigs, bark, weeds, feathers, grass, roots, and whatever else they can find. They lay about 3-7 blue-green eggs at a time. [http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/birds/printouts/Bluejayprintout.shtml] They eggs can be a variety of glossy colors like pink, blue, green, or olive with brown or purple speckles. The baby birds are closely watched by their parents until they can leave their nest at about 3 weeks old. [http://www.all-birds.com/Blue-Jay.htm] | |||
