Feeding Habits
White-naped Jay primarily consumes ants, spiders, and flying termites, alongside fruits, flowers, and seeds from various plants, accounting for 28% of its diet. It also adapts to environments by including food waste (13%) and frequents plantations for foraging, often on the ground.
Habitat
White-naped Jay primarily occupies arid to semi-arid environments, favoring dry scrublands and deciduous forests. The species thrives in regions characterized by thickets in dry ecosystems, such as those typified by caatinga and cerrado vegetation. It can also be found in secondary woodlands, riparian forests near water sources, and transitional areas at the edge of tropical forests, indicating a preference for habitats that offer both cover and foraging opportunities.
