The California Blue Jay is the smartest bird and one of the smartest animals in existence today. They can remember the locations of caches stored years ago, are known to use tools and mourn their dead in noisy screeching funerals.

This.

Brain size =/= Intelligence
Is /sci/ still stuck in 1960s biology textbooks or what?

This little motherfucker is one of the smartest animals in existence and has a brain the size of a walnut.

Another addendum for the sake of correctness:
The type of jay that rises above the others in intelligence is the California Scrub Jay. So replace "blue jay" for "California Scrub Jay" on my post for the sake of correctness.

Probably the smartest birds of them all, rivaled only by crows and African Grey Parrots. Amazing such large brains can fit on such a small birb.
