A subfamily of birds in the family Corvidae, characterized by garrulous or chattering behavior; also called the jay subfamily.
From Latin 'garrulus' meaning talkative or chattering, plus -inae, the taxonomic suffix for a subfamily. The name perfectly captures the loud, vocal nature of these birds.
The scientific name Garrulinae literally means 'the chattering ones'—taxonomists actually named a whole bird family after their behavior! Jays and their relatives are famously loud and vocal, so this name is spot-on perfect.
