Description

Waxwings can eat huge numbers of berries, each bird sometimes consuming several hundred a day, more than double its own weight. One individual was recorded as eating between 600 and 1,000 cotoneaster berries in six hours, and defecating every four minutes.Waxwings travel significant distances when feeding and help to disperse the fruit seeds.Waxwings forage in large flocks, sometimes of several hundred birds, which enables them to overwhelm birds .
The technique used is pastel with its well-known intense colors of powdery mixtures, which gives the whole an intense contrast between the subject and the background
