Mostly because I can, and also because it is a pet peeve of mine.

NO NOSTRILS!!!

Fantastic tutorial! I never noticed this about corvids but I will keep it it mind when I draw them now!

Saving this for future reference.

And now that I've been alerted to their existence, I'm now curious what function (if any) nasal bristles have.

OMG! I did not realize Jays were corvids as well. Thanks.

I think my crow/raven knowledge just increased by about x10

Also, I like how it says "Green Jay", even though the bird shown is extremely blue : )

Haha, yeah, their heads are blue but the rest of the bird is quite green: [link]

One of my favorite jays!

Okay, now it makes sense. I thought it was just one of those things that didn't make sense, or that perhaps the guy who named them was named Green.

Excellent guide, by the way. Next time I draw a bird, I'll check to see if it has nasal bristles or not.

Of course, currawongs and aust magpies are in the "mud-nest" family, these are possubly related to the ancestors of crows, because crows apparently originated in Australia. Also, birds of paradise are descended from crows.

Yup, but sharing a common ancestor doesn't make them corvids ;)
