It is not often that I get to meet these funny corvids. As a rule, this occurs in the middle of autumn. These birds begin to slowly move from their habitual territories in search of food. And often I hear how these birds imitate the voices of other birds.
They have deceived me so many times! I hear the scream of a black woodpecker, I run towards the sound, and I see a jay sitting on a tree and screaming with his voice. Or once I heard the voice of a chicken, it was again a jay. I don’t know why they do it, but corvids are very smart birds, they are probably pursuing some kind of goal, well, or just having fun.
