About Blue Jay Coloring Pages
This collection has 11 free printable blue jay coloring pages for kids and adults. The blue jay is a bold, clever songbird of eastern North America with a pointed crest and striking blue, black and white feathers. It remembers where it hides acorns and can imitate the calls of hawks.
Coloring ideas
Mix bright blue and royal blue for the wings and back, add black for the necklace and white for the chest. Light gray on the belly and green oak leaves around the branch will make the blue pop.
Blue jay facts to share while you color
A blue jay’s feathers are not really blue. The color comes from the way light bounces inside the feathers, so a broken feather looks gray-brown. Blue jays raise or lower their crest to show how they feel: up when they are excited or alarmed, and flat when they are calm.
Blue jays belong to the same family as crows and ravens, which helps explain how clever they are. They often live in family groups, and many pairs stay together for years. Learn more on the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s blue jay page.
