Jay Bird

Here’s a look at the latest baby at the Houston Zoo.  It is a Plush Crested Jay that hatched just over a week ago (April 23) – the only one to hatch from a clutch of eggs.  The South American bird is considered a vulnerable species.

Admittedly, it doesn’t look like much right now, but if the zoo staff’s hand-feeding project is successful, it will grow to be a beautiful bird.
