I can make guesses based on their Latin names, but they'd be just that -- WAG's.
The bluejay is Cyanocitta cristata.
A problem arises with the mocking bird, as there appears to be about 17 species among three genera.
Any help would be appreciated!

Lunombrulino:Does anybody have or know of a birda fakvortaro? I'm trying to find the names of a few American birds, specifically the bluejay and mocking bird.No idea about a general dictionary, but I can help you with Bluejay and Mockingbird:

But I'm not sure the American birds you are looking for exist in Europe too.

Hélène - Thank you for the offer, but I think Tommjames nailed the question.
Mutusen - You are right. These two types of birds are indigenous to North America. But I appreciate the suggestion!
