Waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus) is a beautifully colored bird that comes to Poland for the winter. It appears in late fall and flies away in March or April. Waxwings live in the taiga in the vast coniferous and mixed forests of the Scandinavian countries and breed there one brood a year. At the top of the waxwing head there is a distinct triangular tip made of gray-brown feathers, which is like an extension of the forehead. Both males and females are similarly velvety in color. These birds live in herds of several dozen. Their presence reveals a characteristic sound, similar to bells. As the name suggests, this bird eats mainly mistletoe fruit, but it eagerly eats other fruits (rowan, hawthorn, privet, blackthorn, rosehip, snowball, buckthorn, juniper, yew, guelder rose). Usually, we can observe how these birds sit a dozen or so on one branch and eat mistletoe fruits. Digestion of the swallowed whole fruit is shortened and undigested food remnants (including seeds) are excreted, which contributes to the dispersal of seeds from various plants. They can often be watched when they drink water from rivers, and when most of the water is frozen, they eat snow. In Roztocze, waxwings are observed every year, mainly at the end of winter, and are a great attraction for birdwatchers.
