Florida Scrub-Jay
Aphelocoma coerulescens
L 11" WS 13.5" Wt 2.8 oz
Known for its tameness which
threatens its well-being.
Scrub Jay, the most friendly bird I’ve seen,
Won’t you come and play with me?
Twitch! Then I’ll giggle when you’re in my hand.
Scrub Jay, you’re my best friend.
 
Boy it’s a shame I won’t see you again,
You’re homes are being destroyed and NOW
I may lose my BEST FRIEND!
