- "And it turns out, from a thorough reading of the research and its conclusions, that super-greedy cedar waxwings are most likely to be killed by the berries, because unlike most other birds they often clean entire shrubsful in one fell swoop, gorge on many more berries at one time, then store them in their craw until the berries ferment and poison the birds."
