With the arrival of the first signs of spring, the decrease in cold weather, these birds begin to slowly fly back home. And they live in the northern taiga forests, and only with the onset of winter they wander south in search of food.

In this spring period, they spend the mating season at the same time as returning home. I repeatedly saw at the end of April how a nomadic flock of waxwings sits on rowan bushes, and males pick berries and treat females with them.
