Baldur's Gate 3's avian enthusiasts may have found evidence that Larian doesn't know what a Blue Jay is

Devastatingly, it turns out that Baldur’s Gate 3 might not be entirely accurate in its portrayal of birds, with an avian enthusiast on Reddit having picked out some aspects of Larian’s Blue Jays that don’t add up.

To be honest, it’s surprising that someone has been able to take their eyes off of some of BG3’s super cute ground-dwelling animals, such as the owlbear cub and this cat that can sort of become your son if you pass an intelligence check. However, Reddit user AstroAri has seemingly had their peepers trained on the skies, having managed to spot several details that they think prove Larian has no idea how one fowl should behave.

“I’m an avid birder, and blue jays are my favourite bird,” they explained in a post on the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit, “So the portrayal of blue jays in this game is hysterically funny to me. It’s extremely clear that Larian (a Belgian company) has absolutely no clue what a Blue Jay (a corvid endemic to North America) actually is.”
