This was revealed in a study conducted on a color-banded population of the Mexican Jay in the Chiricahua Mountains of Arizona. With the use of a 'police whistle,' the Jays learned to associate the sound of a whistle with food, especially during drought season when food was scarce. However, the Mexican Jays were observed to respond only in its own territory and rarely strayed to others' territories.
