This species is the only member of its family exhibiting yellow and green plumage. In Colombia, it inhabits montane forests and humid lowland forests, and shows high tolerance to human-modified landscapes such as secondary forests and plantations of pine, cypress, coffee, and cacao. The Green Jay typically forages in groups, feeding on fruits, insects (including beetles and grasshoppers), and eggs of some reptiles, mainly in ground and lower forest strata.
