Cool Facts - The name "waxwing" comes from the waxy red secretions found on the tips of the secondaries of some birds. The exact function of these tips is not known, but they may help attract mates. - Cedar Waxwings with orange instead of yellow tail tips began appearing in the northeastern U.S. and southeastern Canada in the 1960s. The orange color is the result of a red pigment picked up from the berries of an introduced species of honeysuckle. If a waxwing eats enough of the berries while it is growing a tail feather, the tip of the feather will be orange. - Because they eat so much fruit, Cedar Waxwings occasionally become intoxicated or even die when they run across overripe berries that have started to ferment and produce alcohol. <a href="http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Cedar_Waxwing/id">Cedar Waxwing - All About Birds</a> Photo taken at <a href="http://www.planeteye.com/Place/Second-Marsh-Wildlife-Area+1082461.aspx">Second Marsh Wildlife Area - PlanetEye</a> |
