When berries are abundant, most birds spend the winter in their northern breeding areas or a little further south. If the berry supply fails in winter and in case of very large populations, the Bohemian Waxwing often undertakes long-distance migrations which stretch as far as the Mediterranean. Their sometimes unpredictable occurrence in large numbers used to be regarded as an omen of wars or epidemics. Therefore, from the great plague outbreak around 1350 onward, the German name \u201cPestvogel\u201d (plague bird) was used and since the Thirty Years\u2019 War it was also called \u201cKriegsvogel\u201d (war bird)."}
