The curl-crested jay (Cyanocorax cristatellus) is a South American Jay with a black face, chin, cheekbones.
With beautiful breast, and a brown-black nape and sides of the neck.
On top of the head is a long, recurred, black crest that is constantly upright.
The upper parts, back, and rump are bluish to violet, although the top mantle is predominantly reddish-brown.
Moreover, the upper wings are cyan-blue, while the primaries have blue outer and black inner borders.
The tail of these birds is half violet blue and half white and is rather short.
White on the lower breast, abdomen, and rump.
These white underwing coverts contrast attractively with darker flight feathers.
The bill is black, the eyes are dark brown, and the legs and feet are black as well.
When compared to adults, the juvenile is duller, with brownish-tipped wing-coverts and a washed mauve terminal third of the tail.
Their crests are shorter and more angular.
Curl-crested jays are found in the central and southern parts of Brazil, as well as in the northeastern Brazil.
Curl-crested jay ranges live near to the northwestern parts as well as southeast, Amazon Basin.
These amazing and rare birds reside also around the west-flowing Guaporé River on the Brazil-Bolivia border.
