About Cyanocorax yncas (Boddaert, 1783)
This species, Inca jay, has the scientific name Cyanocorax yncas (Boddaert, 1783). Inca jays measure 29.5–30.5 cm (11.6–12.0 in) in total length. Their crown usually appears mostly white, with blue coloration restricted to the frontal crest and nape. A black bib forms a broad band that extends up to the sides of the head, and also forms a stripe through the eye line and an additional stripe above the eye line. The breast and all underparts are typically bright yellow, while the upper parts of the body are a rich green. The iris has a bright yellow color. In terms of distribution and habitat, the Inca jay’s range extends south through the Andes, starting from Colombia and Venezuela and continuing through Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.
