All the different fruits that our local supermarket took off the floor as they were no longer looking good enough to sell.They were still fine and the waxwing just devoured all different kinds.

It ate so much fruit and became strong enough to rejoin its flock. It was so fortunate they happened to be in our yard right when it was time for this one to go.

They are just gorgeous! And so so grumpy looking😂
This one heard its flock whirring outside and got so excited. It flew up to join them and I like to think we see him every winter!

😂
We had one that we thought must have hit something and took it to the vet college. Soft tissue injury and it needed a few weeks rest. We had an extra cage, so it came to live here for a while. It ate SO MUCH FRUIT, and my gosh did it poop😂
A few weeks later, we heard its flock, and released it!

😂 I was convinced we’d be able to ignore this one but ..

Yes, I had another look. I guess eating all those berries is thirsty work!

😂 it was more tricky than I anticipated getting home. And I do believe shovelling will be necessary in the morning 😂😭

That is interesting. I just assumed they were scrounging fallen berries.

Ha, it chose well!

It’s totally them, and I bet they are extremely mad they lost a chip. I would be.
And that would be so cool to have that many right in your yard!

Great comparison!

That’s so cool! What a spectacle!

That’s fantastic!

I’ve always wanted to see a lek of ruffs in Europe!

😂

A ruffed grouse stands on a fallen log in a forest. His head and body are still and he beats his wings to make a drumming sound during mating season

It is! Same for me, it was a few years ago and a male was strutting his stuff by the roadside.
We were also able to find a log once and see the drumming!

That’s fantastic , congrats!

Wonderful!

Oh that would have been fun to watch!

😂 it absolutely is!

😂 it has happened once or twice …

😂 it’s happened once of twice.

Beautiful!

We’ll see how accurate they are!
