a loudmouth genius in blue that screams hawk just to clear the feeder
means A noisy, brightly blue-crested North American songbird of the crow family, known for its harsh calls, bold behavior, and clever mimicry.
from A plain English compound of "blue" (for its vivid plumage) and "jay," the older bird name that came into Middle English from Old French "jai," possibly tracing back to Late Latin "gaius" — a name that may have been imitative of the bird's raucous chatter, or, by one tradition, borrowed from the Roman personal name Gaius the way we casually call a bird a "robin" or a "magpie." The "blue" was tacked on by settlers in the Americas to distinguish this flashy New World cousin from the duller jays back home.
