Product Overview
This larger-than-usual 25-cent coin in the Birds of Canada series showcases the blue jay, and its signature vivid blue hue that's created by the unique structure of its feathers and how they reflect light. This active, bold and vocal bird is a joy to watch. It's a regular visitor to backyard feeders throughout southern Canada—a fact that makes this coin a perfect collectible for bird lovers!
Flight seems almost effortless for the blue jay as it glides through the air with surprising speed while barely flapping its wings. However, its quiet arrival is often announced by its harsh calls, which sometimes mimic other birds such as the red-shouldered hawk. The jay's calls often alert other birds to the presence of humans, cats or other possible predators.
Did you know?
The blue jay's vivid blue colour is actually an illusion created by the unique inner structure of its feathers and they way they reflect light—if you were to crush a blue jay feather, the blue tones would disappear. This shimmering blue adorns the bird's crest, back, wings and tail, which are also accented in black and white. Unlike many bird species, there are no obvious differences in plumage between males and females.
