Cedar Waxwing This is a cedar waxwing. It is a bird that was on the ground (this picture) on our road and when we stopped to find out why it did not flee the oncoming car, it also did not try to escape. We are not sure what is wrong with it. It was among a whole flock of them when we drove by it. We think one of it's wings may be damaged. We picked it up, put it in a stocking cap and brought it home. We put it in our old canary cage with an apple slice and some holly berries. I have tried for two days to put it outside, but it only hops a couple of times and just sits on the ground. It does flutter a little in the cage, but mostly sits on the bottom. It has perched a few times. I will try everyday to let this bird go back into the wild to see if its wing gets better, in the meantime, it is a beautiful bird for us to enjoy. Oh, I also found a sound clip of cedar waxwings on the internet. He gets very excited when he hears it. The bird on the clip must be saying, "Eat your berries, Junior," because when he hears it, he eats a berry! Someone told me it is against the law to cage a wild bird in most states. Is this true? |
