Description
In old texts, the waxwing is called an" unsatiable" bird and was seen as a" lazy and inert fellow whose only accomplishments are within the art of eating". He will eat his weight in food every day. Many times, this may be to the significant disadvantage of the waxwing as some of the rowanberries it finds have fermented with time. This results in unsober birds with unsteady wings who are easily victims of accidents, hawks, and cats.
Appearance
It's almost the same size as a starling. The body colour varies from chocolate brown on the upper side to grey-brown on the underside. The head feathers are extended into a crest. A black line runs through the eye.Similar bird

Food and bird tables
During the breeding season, the waxwings live off insects, preferably mosquitoes and dragonflies. However, they will eat berries and fruits the rest of the year, concentrating primarily on rowanberries.The nest and hollows
The nest consists primarily of lichen and moss, lined with hair, down and feathers. They place it two to four metres up in a fir or pine.Distribution
