20 Free Blue Jay Coloring Pages To Print And Color
1. Blue Jay And Cardinal Together Coloring PDF
This first page has one of my favorite bird species joining another of my favorites! While I love blue jays, I also adore cardinals with their gorgeous red color. It will make for a wonderful contrast against the blue of the blue jay. I always assumed that blue jays and cardinals were from the same family, but I recently discovered they are not at all!
2. Blue Jay Chasing Insects
The details on this blue jay are a sight to behold! They will be a challenge to color, but it’s a challenge I know you’re up to. Did you know that a blue jay’s feathers aren’t actually blue? That may sound insane, but the blue color comes from the way light refracts through the feathers. The feathers are actually a shade of brown.
3. Blue Jay In Flight
The previous blue jay was incredibly detailed, but this one is a little simpler. Don’t be fooled, though; it will still be challenging to color those details.
4. Cute Blue Jay Eating Berries From A Bush
It’s snack time, as this blue jay is snacking on berries. I won’t tell you how to color those berries, but I think it would be fun to make them blueberries. Not only would it be thematic, but also accurate! Blue jays do sometimes eat blueberries.
5. Blue Jay Feather With Mandala Pattern
This is a gorgeous design of a blue jay feather with an intricate mandala design. Coloring these details with colored pens or pencils would make it much easier.
6. Blue Jay Feeding Chicks
What an adorable scene this is, as a mother blue jay feeds her chicks. Once they leave the nest, the babies will stay with their parents for a few months before heading out for good.
7. Cartoon Blue Jay In Spring Garden
This next blue jay has a Disney vibe to me! It could also have a kawaii look depending on which colors you use.
8. Blue Jay In The Snow
Things are getting cold in this scene! Some blue jays will migrate south for the Winter, but others stay put even in the cold Winter months.
9. Blue Jay On A Feeder
If you had a feeder like the one in this scene in your garden, you may be lucky enough to have a blue jay pay you a visit.
10. Blue Jay Nest With Eggs Coloring Sheet
You get a great view of some blue jay eggs in the nest here. If you want them to look accurate, you can use a pale, greenish blue for the eggs.
11. Easy Cartoon Blue Jay In A Birdbath
Everybody needs to have a nice relaxing bath sometimes, and that’s true for blue jays as well! It’s also drawn in a nice, easy style.
12. Blue Jay On A Snowy Mailbox

13. Blue Jay On A Wooden Fence
It’s always lovely to look outside your window and see something like the sight we have in this scene. Did you know that the blue jay is the national bird of seven US states? These are Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, New York and Tennessee.
14. Blue Jay Near A Peaceful Pond
There are few things as relaxing to me as coloring a picture, and when it’s a peaceful scene like this blue jay next to a pond, it’s even more relaxing! Blue jays are extraordinarily intelligent birds, so I like to think they also admire a pretty scene like this!
15. Blue Jay On A Tree Branch
I really love the simple style in which this blue jay was drawn. Will you use realistic colors for it or perhaps go with colors that are more stylish?
16. Blue Jay In Front Of A City
Blue jays prefer to live in forests, but it’s not unheard of to see them in a city. Perhaps this city could be Toronto, which would be apt, as there is a baseball team called the Toronto Blue Jays.

This next blue jay has fanned its feathers out a bit, and it allows you to color the smaller feather details.
18. Blue Jay With Wings Tucked In
When the days start to get a bit colder, blue jays would likely tuck their feathers in as this one is doing in order to stay warm.
19. Cartoon Blue Jay Flying
This blue jay looks as if it’s giving a call as it flies! Blue jays have loud voices and are also great at mimicking. They will even mimic the calls of hawks and other birds of prey to trick them.
