The Tibetan ground jay is a small bird that lives on the high plateaus of Tibet. It spends almost all its time on the ground, runs quickly, and builds nests in burrows.
The Tibetan ground jay differs from other birds by nesting in burrows in the ground. It is important for the highland nature because it eats insects and helps spread plant seeds.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
