The Florida scrub jay is a medium-sized bird with bright blue plumage on its head, wings, and tail. It lives only in the scrublands of central Florida and forms family groups where young birds help their parents.
The Florida scrub jay is distinguished from other jays by its close association with Florida's scrublands and its cooperative breeding system. It is important for nature because it disperses oak seeds and controls insect populations.
Forages for food on the ground and in bushes, stores acorns in the soil.
