The waxwing Bird

Picture
The males and females look like each other, only that the female's feathers are darker. Waxwings generally live on fruit. During the breeding season they will catch any insect on their feathery wing. In cold winters they usually migrate south of their range. During the male’s courtship display, the male presents a berry or ant pupa to the female, which the birds then pass to each other back and forth from his beak to her beak, but they never swallow it. The massive nest is made from twigs, trees, plants, or moss fibers, but mostly made by the female, who lays from three to seven eggs, which she protects alone.
