I know people are going to laugh at me about this but it always strikes me how these birds never look in the mirror so they actually have no idea what they look like.

Have two pair in our backyard this Spring. Stunning when the morning sun lights their wings, like blue fire.

Also blue jays are super brutal. Maybe they'd be nicer if they saw how pretty they are.

Westerners are very “self conscious” which leads to comparisons, competion , judgment of others, arrogance and shame. I saw much less of this in the faces of people when I visited India. It was strikingly beautiful.

Yeah it’s cool 👍 They care about how they *feel*, what their (potential) mates look like, building their nest, and where their next meal is coming from :)

The splendor of nature never ceases to amaze!

If they see reflection they think it is an enemy. 😂😂

They do not need a mirror to know how fabulous they are! ❤️
