The Oxford Eng-Heb Dictionary translates jay as \"orvany\". It is described there as a kind of noisy European bird with brightly coloured feathers.

Explanation:
The technical term for "jay" is the first two words of the definition, with "blue" added. Since the bird is North American, Hebrew does not have its own term. I realize that's a bit cumbersome, but it may have to do.
I could be wrong, of course; I'm male.

Based on the proposed answers, it would appear the answer depends on whether the bird in question is European or North American.

disagree  Y Kinory (X): Jay = orvani (as used by Israeli birdwatchers). And what is that drivel about being male?
