Whisky Jack or Grey Jay. In 2016, an online poll and expert panel conducted by Canadian Geographic magazine selected the Whisky Jack as the national bird of Canada, although this designation is not formally recognized. The bird is very friendly and will approach humans for food, often landing on them to receive what is offered or taking what is available. Copyright Bernadine D. Morris
