I am voting for the Gray jay for the excellent reasons listed by David M. Bird, PhD, Emeritus Professor of Ornithology, McGill University.Smart, found all across Canada, friendly.

With all of the cold weather this winter, my beauties come for their first treat of the day with frosted eye down that looks like white eye brows. **En fait, 106 des 195 pays du Monde ont déjà leur oiseau emblème, mais pas le Canada! — Soumis le 5/13/2015 par Kim Smith

— Soumis le 7/5/2016 par Ann Libecap Or the loudest. — Soumis le 4/26/2016 par Dimitri Stathopoulos (Gatineau, QC) For me, all of my experiences with gray jays are experiences I have had in the wilderness. (Grimsby, on, ON)

Delightful character or minor annoyance, the Gray Jay certainly has charisma.

The alternate names help with my choice. (Toronto, ON) You can't help but be delighted when you are lucky enough to come across one, and I would be proud to have this uniquely Canadian species as our national bird.J'ai choisi le Mésangeai du Canada parce qu'il représente bien l'ensemble du pays, cet oiseau est très intelligent, bien adapté au froid et à son habitat.

The Gray Jay/Whiskey Jack is also known for it's trusting nature - how much more Canadian can you get than that?! — Soumis le 1/9/2016 par Anouk Hoedeman (Ottawa, ON) (Gatineau, QC) — Soumis le 8/31/2016 par Andrea Elsey

They may not be brilliantly colored but they certainly are a beautiful bird.I love their friendliness and I always remember them coming to our car while we shared our lunch with them in the mountains.The Grey Jay or "Whiskeyjack" as I know it is a bold little bird, never afraid to almost come right up to me when I'm feeding the birds during visits to home in N. Ontario.I enjoy seeing this bird year round on the ski trails and hiking in the mountains.The Canada Jay is found in all parts of Canada and that makes it very representative. (Québec, QC)

It is intelligent yet meek and mild mannered. — Soumis le 7/22/2016 par nicole toupin He is unique and distinct from other grey jays because of his extra large eyes. I have read and heard stories about these incredibly bold birds.Since moving to Toronto in 1991, not once have I ever seen another whiskey jack. — Soumis le 1/24/2015 par Sasha Steeves

(Barrie, ON) Leave this one to the ornithologists.Gray Jays are very smart and they are also very friendly. You should inform people of this so that they don't waste their vote.Love the Gray Jay having encountered and fed them from my hand while visiting awesome Algonquin Park. — Soumis le 8/30/2015 par Sharon Murdock It's a fitting symbol for Canada because, unlike most other contenders, most of the population is resident here year-round.Suite à la chronique de Pierre Gingras de Radio-Canada (journaliste en botanique de La Presse), il nous a bien indiqué qu'il serait intéressant d'avoir un oiseau emblématique qui n'est pas l'emblème d'une province.
