Common names of birds are not proper nouns, so should not be capitalized. See Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(capitalization). -- Heron

Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(capitalization) actually says "The capitalization on the common names of species has been hotly debated in the past and has remained unresolved. As a matter of truce both capitalized and non-capitalized (except for proper names) are acceptable, but a redirect should be created from the alternative form." Personally I prefer capitals (and the distinction is occasionally useful, as here - "jay" can be used as a generic term for all the various species of jay, "Jay" to refer specifically to the Eurasian Jay.)

Here is a link to a nice HD video of a Eurasion Jay, anting. This behaviour is quite rare so I feel I was lucky to capture it You may wish to include it in your Wiki article on bird preening. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=314-HtWIOps Regards blutey Blutey (talk) 20:55, 31 October 2011 Blutey (talk) 03:55, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Difference

HBW classifies Garrulus glandarius split as garrulus glandarius subspecies include brandtii, atricapilius, specific status bispecularis and leucotis, but is there any reference for bispecularis and leucotis to split? is there a reference? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samweithe4 (talk • contribs) 02:30, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The picture from below seems low quality

The picture from below seems low quality, but I'm not sure if it needs to be deleted. It may be useful for identifying a jay.

Concur, it's really bad. Removed. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:02, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Distribution and Habitat specific to UK???

Some of the text seems very much UK-specific. There is a reference to the National Trust. Much of the distribution area have no oaks. Are the references to oaks specific to the UK? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.27.127.183 (talk) 09:28, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
