Jabberjay

Jabberjays were created by genetically combining multiple types of birds.

Description
Jabberjays are average sized birds that have completely black bodies. Their heads are blue but they have one spot on the back of their neck that is a darker shade of blue than the rest of their head. Jabberjays have short and thin beaks which suits them because they feed on berries, insects, and seeds. Jabberjays are an exclusively male species and have the ability to completely memorize and repeat whole conversations.

Usage
Jabberjays were originally created by the Capitol for them to use as spies on the districts during the first rebellion. When the districts found out that the birds were the reason why the Capitol knew what the districts' plans were, they lied in front of the birds and humiliated the Capitol. The Capitol then left the birds in the wild to die off. However, the Jabberjays breeded with female mockingbirds and produced a new species of bird called mockingjays.

Jabberjays were used in one of the sectors of the 75th Hunger Games arena.

Victims
Jabberjays were used against the districts in the first rebellion so they caused the Capitol to gain an advantage on the districts. The districts found out about the jabberjays and had them repeat lies to the Capitol, giving the districts the advantage. The districts and the Capitol were both victims of the jabberjays at one point.

In the 75th Hunger Games, the jabberjays copied the sounds of the tributes' loved ones screaming for help. When the sector of the arena was in its hour, invisible force fields locked the tributes inside or outside of the sector while the birds roamed inside the wedge. The Gamemakers had trained 2,400 jabberjays ready for use in the Games. Each tribute had 100 jabberjays trained to mimic the sound of their loved ones. When Katniss and Finnick were in the sector, 200 jabberjays were released into the arena which copied the sounds of the screaming Prim, Katniss' sister, Gale, Katniss' friend, and Annie, Finnick's true love.
