Pokemon Fans Will Love This Handsome Bird With A Cool, Sweptback Hairdo That Looks Like A Real-Life Pidgeotto
Every time you think you have found the most beautiful, or the coolest bird in the world, you best expect that there would always be that one species that would take that spot. And that just goes on and on, because the world has over 50 billion birds, and a lot of them hold a spectacular beauty like no other!
Some have tawny features, some have more iridescent tones, some look like fruits, and some look like the most magnificent and most handsome bird you will ever see—like the beautiful Cedar Waxwing you are about to read about. At first glance, you would notice that it resembles the Pokemon Pidgeotto, with its fascinating sweptback hairdo, a black mask over its eyes, and an overall aura that just screams power.
The Cedar Waxwing's appearance is characterized by shiny and silky hues of brown, lemon-yellow, gray, with accents of black and red on its plumage. They are most likely to be seen flying around over rivers during summer, where they find insects to feed on.
They are medium in size, with a large head and a sleek appearance, accompanied by a short neck and short and stocky bill. They have crests that lie flat and swept back over their heads, and they have pointed wings that make them look so sleek and shiny.
Cedar Waxwings are medium-birds that have pale brown heads, a fading gray chest, a pale yellow belly, and a gray tail with a bright yellow tip.

C Watts – CC BY 2.0 Cedar Waxwings are able to survive just eating fruit for several months. Fun fact: when these birds that are residing around the northeastern U.S. and southeastern Canada area would eat enough honeysuckle berries, they could change the colors of their tail feathers from yellow to orange.

Charles Patrick Ewing – CC BY 2.0 They take around 5 to 6 days to build a nest, and to do so, a female Cedar Waxing would have to make about 2,500 individual trips. They can sometimes cut off the time by stealing material from other nests of other bird species.
