Blue Jays

[Calico]

I don't think these little guys have been suggested before. 

Blue Jays - They are foragers who search for seeds, berries and insects around the trees. They spend the late summer and fall months caching food around their habitat, often covering it up with leaves or brush, for retrieval during the winter months when resources are scarce. They have an incredible memory for remembering the locations of their caches

In addition to addicting a tiny flash of color on the landscape they could be another source of plan'-based food - but the player has to decide if the calories expended tracking the bird is more or less than the potential calories gained. Also, is the Jay heading towards a cache, or away from it??

Follow Jay to find cache containing 1-4 “seed clumps” each worth ~1 granola bar’s worth of calories. May collect fallen feathers like crows (maybe slightly better for arrows? that would be reasonable??)
