The Turquoise Jay (Cyanocorax cyanomelas) is a striking, predominantly blue jay species found in the Amazon basin of South America. It is characterized by its brilliant turquoise-blue plumage across most of its body, with a contrasting black head and throat. These social birds inhabit humid lowland forests.
Where to spot
Found in the western and southern Amazon basin, including parts of Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and northern Argentina. It inhabits humid lowland forests, gallery forests, and forest edges.
How to spot
Look for its brilliant turquoise-blue plumage and contrasting black head and throat in the mid to upper canopy of rainforests. It often moves in noisy groups, so listen for its varied, often harsh, and loud calls.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range, observable year-round. Most active in the early mornings and late afternoons.

Despite its vibrant coloration, the Turquoise Jay is remarkably adept at navigating through dense tropical forest canopies, often foraging on insects and fruits with agility.
