The densely woven filaments of the Blue Jay feather are brown pigmented with melanin. Through the process of light scattering the feathers appear a radiant blue, just as the sky appears blue to the eye above the horizon. (Cyanocitta cristata)

The Blue Jay is a symbol of fidelity, solidarity and empathy. This piece is one of a pair, two components of the colours of the Ukrainian flag.
