These huge jays stand out in their pale yellow and black look.

The plush-crested jay (Cyanocorax chrysops) is a graceful medium-sized bird with black underparts, chin, throat, neck sides, and breast.

So, the remaining underparts range in color from creamy-white to light yellowish.

The under tail has creamy to pale yellowish and black bases.

His forehead contains stiff feathers that transit to softer feathers on the crown, making a velvet-like crest.

His brow, crown, and sideburns are all black, with a dazzling ultramarine crescent above his eyes.

A similar colored patch below the eye to the back combines into a cyan-blue stripe that forms a V.

Therefore, the nape is faint ultramarine that changes to pure marine blue down the neck.

The bill is black, the eyes are yellow, and the legs and feet are black.

Juvenile birds have a duller nape and their face pattern does not show until after the first month.

These birds may be found in the southwestern countries of Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and northeastern Argentina in central-southern South America.

The Plush-crested Jay is found in a variety of forest and forested habitats, including lowland evergreen forests.

Moreover, you can also find them in tropical forests and temperate rainforests.

It is normally seen at heights up to 1500 meters.

However, it has been observed above 2800 meters in Bolivia.
