The purplish jay (Cyanocorax cyanomelas) is a species of bird in the family Corvidae.
It is found in northern Argentina, Bolivia, southern Brazil, Paraguay and southeastern Peru.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, and heavily degraded former forest.
Like many other corvids, it is known to act as a cleaner for large mammals, removing things such as ticks.[2]
