Cedar Waxwings

This is a transient little bird that stops by on their annual migration. They won't be here long.
They hang in small groups of 5 -10 and every few seconds take off, make a tight loop and land back on the limb. I have a group in my backyard.

Pretty bird. You're lucky, I've never seen one in my yard.

I have a question for you bird people. We just moved into a house that had a bird feeder by the deck. So I started putting food in there and watching all the pretty birds come by. Now we have problem.....they are pooping on the deck like crazy. My MIL said to put an owl out there and they wont land on the deck, but still eat the food. Is this true? Thanks everyone

Did the Holy Bushes speak to you? Or do you have to set fire to the Holy bushes before they talk??

Maybe try moving that bird feeder a little further away if possible, KittyKat33.

Also, never seen a Cedar Waxwing, neat looking bird.
