Bombycilla Mating season begins in late spring and runs through late summer. During courtship males and females exchange fruit. The female cedar waxwing lays four to six eggs in a cup-shaped nest made of bark, twigs, moss and grass. The nest is usually made in a conifer tree. The female incubates the eggs.
Incubation takes about two weeks.
Both parents care for the chicks and feed them regurgitated berries and insects. They fledge when the are about two weeks old. Cedar waxwings travel in flocks of 40 or more birds. They often will appear in a spot with a good crop of berries. When the supply of berries, is gone they move on.
