Biology:Garrulus
From HandWiki
Garrulus is a genus of Old World jays, passerine birds in the family Corvidae.
Taxonomy and systematics
The genus was established by French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson in 1760.[1] The type species is the Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius).[2][3] The name Garrulus is a Latin word meaning chattering, babbling or noisy.[4]
Species
Three species are currently accepted,[5] though some authors split Eurasian jay into three species, thereby accepting five species in the genus.[6]
