The Clever Jay
Notable member of the crow family (Corvidae), the Clever Jay is best known for its intelligence, loud calls, smart-assedness, and its inability to take anything seriously. Clever Jays are famous for caching both food and good ideas, and play a crucial role in a growth ecosystem by leading through experience – helping its neighbours avoid the same mistakes it’s made over the years, and thus freeing them up to make their own, entirely brand new set of mistakes.
