“Awkward phase? Even birds have one!” 🐦🫣 This teenage Blue Jay is caught mid-glow-up — still clinging to baby greys while showing hints of that bold blue beauty 💙✨ But here’s the twist: Blue Jays aren’t actually blue! Find out why in the article below 👇
This cute “teenager” seems to be doubting in transitioning between leaving in his grey baby feathers and changing into the blue ones.

Like the human beings animals should also go through some adolescent phases and changes.
The photo which is shown above had been posted on Reddit which was introducing a “teenage” Blue Jay where the cutie still has his grey feathers but is also changing into his vibrant blue adult plumage.

This is considered to be a normal developmental stage that every Blue Jay goes through.

The cute bird will still undergo several plumage stages during his lifetime.

Despite their name the Blue Jays aren’t really blue.

The bright blue color is an illusion that is caused because of the refraction in their unique feathers.
The initial brown colour of the feathers is actually revealed without direct light.
