jaybird
Blue woodland screamer
A jaybird is simply a jay—any of the crested, often blue songbirds of the crow family.
The extended form appears mainly in American regional speech and in the expression naked as a jaybird, meaning completely nude.
The phrase's origin is obscure, since jays are fully feathered birds.
