Blue Jay Feather  embellished pin The feathers of Blue Jay are not really blue.  The colour is just a trick of light!  The pigment cancels out all the other wave lengths except the ones we see and everything else is absorbed by the melanin under it, and in fact, it makes it stand out even more.  Inreality the Blue Jay is actually Black.
