Jay, Jake and Jim, collectively known as the Blues, are recurrent characters that appear in the Angry Birds series. These three hatchlings are brothers who hatched from the same egg, and the youngest members of the Angry Birds. Virtually identical to each other in both personality and appearance, the Blues are immature and mischievous due to their age, often playing pranks on their friends, but are surprisingly clever and capable in battle.

The characters debuted in Poached Eggs in the original Angry Birds; in gameplay, they are some of the weakest birds but are excellent at breaking glass. They also possess the peculiar ability to merge into a single bird and split again in mid-air.

The three Blues are identical in appearance (although Jay is said to have a hidden darker feather on his back), being small hatchlings covered in blue feathers, hence their name. Like most other characters, they have completely round bodies with no limbs. They resemble Red, but have a slightly longer beak and notable orange eyelids that partially cover the bottom part of their eyes. The Blues have a tuft of two blue feathers on their head, and their tail consists of two black feathers with squarish ends. Unlike the other birds, they lack eyebrows and chest feathers.

The Blues are mischievous and adventurous. Their identical personalities make them a tight-knit trio, rarely seen apart. They always look for new ways to entertain themselves, frequently by playing pranks and games on the other birds. Despite their mischief, the Blues are clever and resourceful, often finding creative solutions to problems and devising elaborate pranks. They possess excellent coordination, and are said to be some of the only Angry Birds that understand the power of teamwork.

Due to their young age, the Blues hate rules, growing up, and responsibility. Their naivety often leads them to trouble, and are guillible and easily distracted while guarding the eggs, which as a result are stolen by the pigs. Nonetheless, the Blues are quick to rectify their mistakes and usually manage to get the eggs back before anyone notices. Their unmanageable demeanor often puts them at odds with the other birds, who try to instill discipline in them. The Blues hate being scolded, and burst in tears when in trouble, which in turn evokes sympathy from the others.

Despite their young age, the Blues possess a variety of skills that make them formidable fighters of the Angry Birds. As triplets, they have the peculiar ability to merge into one single bird and split whenever desired, allowing them to perform coordinated attacks and hit multiple targets at the same time. They are shown to exceed in destroying glass, but are weak against other materials. They are also skilled drivers, capable of operating karts together.

The Blues exceed at combat, showing proficiency with operating all kinds of projectile-based weapons and being experienced in hand-to-hand combat, able to beat hordes of pigs on their own. They are also very hardy, coming out unscathed by being prickled by several cacti and even resisting atmospheric entry.

Red: The Blues see Red as a hero and dream of becoming powerful fighters like him when they grow up. Nevertheless, they dislike his daily lectures about responsibility and training, and believe he underestimates them.

Chuck: The Blues dislike Chuck and find him too overbearing. For this reason, they love making him the target of their pranks, once disguising him as a pig in his sleep and making Terence chase him. However, they appreciate his super speed.

Bomb: The Blues are close friends with Bomb, particularly due to their shared love of fun and mischief. They also are entertained by Bomb's explosiveness and abilities. The four can often be seen together playing games, sometimes with disastrous results.

Matilda: The Blues are treated by Matilda as if they were her children. They often are under her watchful eye when it comes to eating vegetables and not causing trouble. Although they pretend they do not like Matilda's fussing over them, the Blues secretly do appreciate her nurturing nature.

The Mighty Eagle: The Blues see the Mighty Eagle as a hero and strive to be like him. They often go to his cave and ask him to tell them his war stories in exchange for sardines. Whenever the Blues come visit, the Mighty Eagle also plays with them by bouncing them on his giant beak.

Hal: Hal is seen as a better father-figure to the Blues, as they choose to tag along with him than Red, who offers to follow along. In a short strip from Angry Birds Comics Issue 4 titled "Peak Beak," Hal is willing to help them through many obstacles, like crossing a cliff, being shelter for rain, and being a boat to cross a river. It seems to be that the Blues stick to Hal more because his beak an extremely useful component of him.

Terence: It can be assumed Terence and The Blues are good friends. In their description on angrybirds.com, it is shown that they play pranks with him as some sort of prop, as it mentions they dressed up Chuck in a pig costume and called Terence over to deal with him.

Bubbles: The Blues treat Bubbles like a younger sibling. When The Blues barely knew him and he got captured by the pigs, they went out of their way to rescue him. They also don't seem to get very upset when he eats most of their candy, meaning they are more tolerant if he wrongs them in any way. The Blues also think he is cute and coo over him at the end of the Ham'o'ween Short Movie.

Stella: According to the book Stella's Friend Book, Stella likes The Blues' jokes, but sometimes she thinks they can go too far with their pranks.

Silver: According to an issue of Angry Birds Magazine, Silver's best friends are The Blues, as they all enjoy pranking and playing jokes.

In older games and media such as the Kombo trailers, only one blue bird is shown at a time. It was implied that this bird can make two copies of himself, and the other two Blues were just clones of this single bird. Despite this, many other games such as Angry Birds 2 list the Blues as a single bird called "Blues". In games that use their Chrome designs, the Blues will immediately turn into corpses once the player activates their ability, regardless of whether or not they touch a surface. The Blues are the only characters in the flock to not have eyebrows. But there are rare situations like the first cinematic trailer where they do. The Blues' power was never changed or even slightly modified in any slingshot-based Angry Birds game. Jay was incorrectly named "Jon" in an Angry Birds Comics issue #1, in Propiganda, as a typo. This also happened with Bomb, who was incorrectly named "Bob" in a panel from the Angry Birds Space comic. Luca and The Blues are similar to each other, as they are both young blue birds who are effective against glass. In Angry Birds Go!, they are the first of three characters whose power can be used three times, the second being Foreman Pig, and the third being Corporal Pig. In Angry Birds Rush, The Blues appear in a mini-game, where the player has to match three images with each other. The Blues, Hal, Matilda and Terence are the only birds in The Flock to not appear as a playable bird in Angry Birds Rush.

"BMUs" stands for "Bird Measurement Units", but has no officially confirmed equivalences.
