What does a blue jay symbolize?
Blue jays are bold, loud and fiercely protective, so they're read as a sign of confidence, communication and courage: speak up, set a boundary, stand your ground.
They're also clever. Blue jays can copy the calls of hawks so well it's hard to tell them apart, and the acorns they bury and forget help plant new oak trees (Wikipedia: Blue jay). Spiritually, that's a reminder that what you say and plant today grows.
