Naked as a jay bird

Since I assume a Jaybird is not featherless what is the origin of the expression ?

One definiton here:
Where does "naked as a jaybird" come from? | LBC

And yes, it did stand for Jail bird, but was shortened to Jay bird, or more commonly known as J bird. Someone else added the "Jay" on there.
