Why is the Bohemian waxwing unique?

          The Bohemian waxwing is a medium sized bird. Measuring between 19 and 23 centimetres in length, the bird has a wingspan of 32 to 35 centimetres.

          The bird is commonly found in the northern forests of Europe, Asia and North America. It is a passerine bird, meaning a perching bird that has a very distinct arrangement of toes, enabling it to sit comfortably on tree twigs.

          The bird likes to build its home in coniferous forests, usually near water. Although the movements of the bird are not predictable, a Bohemian waxwing has the ability to travel considerable distances to wintering areas.

          They live on berries and fruits. They have a particular linking for rowanberries. Their population is large; and therefore, the International Union for Conservation of Nature classifies them as being of least concern.
