When fall comes, Cedar Waxwings fly in hundreds to find their favorite fruits and berries. They even sometimes pluck the berries out of mid-air while briefly hovering over them. During this time of the year, the air will be covered with their thin and high whistle calls.

This species is sometimes determined to be the perpetrator of damage to commercial fruit farms.
In the summertime, they can be seen flying around over rivers, where they find insects to feed on. Summer is also the perfect time for breeding. Males usually present a "hopping dance" for females, and if females agree, they will hop back.

Usually, the female incubates 5 or 6 eggs in the nest for 11 to 13 days after the breeding. The baby eggs are oval-shaped with a smooth surface, and they’re put in a cup nest built with grass and twigs.

The nest is often placed at a height of 6.6–19.7 ft above the ground and lined with soft materials. An interesting fact is that mother birds sometimes steal materials from other species’ nets to cover their nests.
