Well, I didn't know which photo PC showed and I still don't see any pink.

ahha! It could just be your monitor/colour viewing. Do you see dusky, coppery colours? It isn't all blue by a long shot. I thought you were teasing.. Wasn't being mean.

No, there's only one blue bit at the wings. Dusky, coppery (which is far from pink) is right.

also, the blue jay doesn't have any, but the Eurasian one is sort of pinky(ish) as well. We get the Eurasian here, and it's the same as the one on mainland Europe. I think people think they're blue because it's the blue wing flash that they notice in the autumn when the birds are eating acorns. I've always thought of them as dusky pinky/purple birds.

The jays from my memory (haven't seen any here) are pretty well camouflaged with earthy tones with a flash of blue.

The closest to pink birds I can think of are (I hope my dictionary and wikipedia are correct) are bullfinches.

bullfinches and chaffinches are definitely more pink than jays. It's all a bit subjective anyway... What colour are peacocks?

And I think that Pink Pigeons are just mucky looking beige birds.

And the perception changes with the light conditions, too.
