Naturally Speaking: Crabapples Chamber Holds Ribbon Cuttings

By Jerry Davis

Photo Submitted
DANE COUNTY–Sometimes even the smallest of apples are too large for small birds more
accustomed to grapes, elderberries, and Juneberries.
Crabapples come in many sizes, some too large to get down a small bird’s throat. Growing
conditions during spring and summer influence how large these pomes get before frost turns off
the fruit’s growth.
Those tiny apples that begin to get soft do shrink enough to make it down a cedar waxwing’s
throat and birds seem to have a way of not wasting time mouthing a small apple they will never be
able to swallow. Some apples change color with age, too.
Red, drop-shaped, wax-like tips on some wing feathers are responsible for the bird’s common
name. These wing feather tips become more prominent with age. One might expect older birds have
larger throats and can swallow or pass larger fruit to another waxwing.
