Friends, everyone has seen people get drunk, but have you ever seen a bird get drunk? The bird you are looking at is a Polish Cedar Waxwing The fruit he chooses to eat is an overripe, rotten berry fruit that contains drugs. The bird does not drop a single piece of it, it swallows the whole overripe ganjal fruit whole. After such a full meal, they get drunk and get down on the ground and become unconscious.
दोस्तों लोगों को शराब पीकर नशे में टलते हुए तो आपने अक्सर देखा ही होगा। लेकिन क्या आपने कभी किसी चिड़िया को नशे में टलते हुए देखा है? आप जिस पक्षी को देख रहे हैं वह पोलैंड की Cedar waxwing Birds है। वो जो फल खा रहे हैं, ये एक अधिक पका सड़ा हुआ बेरी फल है, जिससे वाईन बनते हैं। चिड़िया उसका एक टुकड़ा भी नहीं गिराते। वो ये सब पका सड़ा हुआ फल पूरा निगल जाती है।इस तरह भरपेट भोजन करने के बाद, वो सब नशे में मदहोश होकर जमीन पर गिर जाते हैं और बेहोश हो जाते हैं। क्या आप पहले कभी किसी चिड़िया को इस तरह drunk करते हुए देखा है? Comment में बताएं
Cedar waxwings are medium-sized birds approximately 6–7 in (15–18 cm) long and weighing roughly 30 g (1.1 oz). Wingspan ranges from 8.7 to 11.8 in (22-30 cm).[5] They are smaller and browner than their close relative, the Bohemian waxwing (which breeds farther to the north and west). Their markings are a "silky, shiny collection of brown, gray, and lemon-yellow, accented with a subdued crest, rakish black mask, and brilliant-red wax droplets on the wing feathers."[6] These droplets may be the same color as the madrone berries they are known to eat.[7] These birds' most prominent feature is this small cluster of red wax-like droplets on tips of secondary flight feathers on the wings, a feature they share with the Bohemian waxwing (but not the Japanese waxwing). These wax-like droplets are attributed to the pigmented and medullary layers of the secondary tip being surrounded by a transparent cuticle.[8] The wings are "broad and pointed, like a starling's."[6] The tail is typically yellow or orange depending on diet. Birds that have fed on berries of introduced Eurasian honeysuckles while growing tail feathers will have darker orange-tipped tail-feathers.[9] The tail is somewhat short, and square-tipped.[6] Adults have a pale yellow belly. The waxwing's crest often "lies flat and droops over the back of the head."[6] It has a short and wide bill.[6] The waxwing's black mask has a thin white border. Immature birds are streaked on the throat and flanks, and often do not have the black mask of the adults. Males and females look alike.[10]
The flight of waxwings is strong and direct, and the movement of the flock in flight resembles that of a flock of small pale European starlings. Cedar waxwings fly at 40 km/h (25 mph) and fly at an altitude of 610 m (2,000 ft).
Cedar waxwings are also known as the southern waxwing, Canada robin, cedar bird, cherry bird, or recellet.
The oldest observed cedar waxwing was eight years and two months old.[9]
Vocalizations
The two common calls of these birds include very high-pitched whistles and buzzy trills about a half second long often represented as see or sree.[9][11] Its call can also be described as "high, thin, whistles."[6] They call often, especially in flight.[9]
Distribution and habitat
In the branches of a weeping holly tree
Preferred habitat consists of trees at the edge of wooded areas, or forests, especially those that provide access to berry sources as well as water. They are frequently seen in fruiting trees.[6] Waxwings are attracted to the sound of running water and like to bathe in and drink from shallow creeks. In urban or suburban environments, waxwings often favor parkland with well-spaced trees; golf courses, cemeteries, or other landscaping with well-spaced trees; bushes that provide berries; and a nearby water source such as a fountain or birdbath. Also look for them near farms, orchards, and gardens, particularly ones with fruiting trees or shrubs.[6]
Outside the breeding season, cedar waxwings often feed in large flocks numbering hundreds of birds. This species is nomadic and irruptive,[12] with erratic winter movements, though most of the population migrates farther south into the United States and beyond, sometimes reaching as far as northern South America. They will move in huge numbers if berry supplies are low. Rare vagrants have reached western Europe, and there are two recorded occurrences of cedar waxwing sightings in Great Britain. Individual Bohemian waxwings will occasionally join large winter flocks of cedar waxwings.
