Do we have an Oz equivalent @birdemergency

@JaneJohnsonBakr I have heard that several fruit-doves getting intoxicated on fermented fruit. Also lorikeets. I will see if I can track down some records rather than anecdotes 😀 That seems like some fun homework 🦤

@JaneJohnsonBakr a bird drunk tank.

@JaneJohnsonBakr i'm polish and afaik this is fake news and the birds are dead

@JaneJohnsonBakr This was a rollercoaster of a toot.

@JaneJohnsonBakr The annual autumn berry festival kept the local Polish force extra busy this year, but was as always a huge success.

@JaneJohnsonBakr 🥂

@JaneJohnsonBakr a great gesture

@JaneJohnsonBakr I bet cats love this. 😼

@JaneJohnsonBakr No, they’re not drunk. They’re all dead, probably from hitting something on their flying path

@JaneJohnsonBakr
I had to look it up, cedar waxwings arent the only birds to imbibe. Birds often have accidents when flying inebriated

@JaneJohnsonBakr @keithbohanna 😂🥰

@JaneJohnsonBakr birds getting shitfaced on a bench infront of a commie block on whatever booze they can find? Sounds like Poland alright 😂

@JaneJohnsonBakr #LifeGoals #LifeGoalsRightThere

@JaneJohnsonBakr so relatable. I love do the same :homer_celebrating:

@JaneJohnsonBakr i love that people put them in safe places. Wholesome.

@JaneJohnsonBakr Amazing!
@louisew I think you'll appreciate this :D

@JaneJohnsonBakr Tell me this is true, please!! 🤣

@JaneJohnsonBakr@mastodon.social fam this is so funny

@JaneJohnsonBakr I think this is misinformation https://www.reddit.com/r/birding/comments/108ilhf/drunk_waxwings_fake_news/

@JaneJohnsonBakr That's not funny. That's a problem.

@JaneJohnsonBakr Being a Pole, I always found that hilarious.

@JaneJohnsonBakr looks like fake news, maybe better to boost the post explaining it?

@JaneJohnsonBakr I’m jealous!

@JaneJohnsonBakr
Yes… except it's fake, and birds on the picture are dead.

@JaneJohnsonBakr its a fake

@JaneJohnsonBakr

OMG so funny!

@JaneJohnsonBakr feels like my office situation.

@JaneJohnsonBakr if only people had treated me with such care back when I drank! That is just too funny and so wonderful.

@JaneJohnsonBakr This sounds like a story Sophie Kachinsky would tell.

@JaneJohnsonBakr @rhipratchett I'm sorry, but that's been debunked. They're dead, mostly likely scared and hit a windows/wall as a whole group.

@JaneJohnsonBakr girls night was LIT

@JaneJohnsonBakr

@JaneJohnsonBakr
What a lovely story.

@JaneJohnsonBakr hilarious

@JaneJohnsonBakr I learned recently, in Aruba, that butterflies feed from fermented fruit and that's the main reason they fly the way they do.

@JaneJohnsonBakr several comments state this is a false story. Maybe you should think about taking it down or amending the post?

@JaneJohnsonBakr #FakeNews https://www.reddit.com/r/birding/comments/108ilhf/drunk_waxwings_fake_news/

@JaneJohnsonBakr I'm loving this thread where people are sharing their countries' alcoholic wild animals.

@JaneJohnsonBakr given the post's reach, it'd be responsible to edit it and add the debunk/explanation linked by other people. thanks!

@JaneJohnsonBakr I know a few fellows who act the same, I may now call them "waxwings".

@JaneJohnsonBakr I have a friend from Białystok that's pretty much a waxwing bird based on that description. I also had to pick him up from the floor and put him in a safe place a couple of times...

@JaneJohnsonBakr I am not so sure they like getting drunk, but this is an opportunity to be kind.

@JaneJohnsonBakr lots of cat food

@JaneJohnsonBakr@mastodon.social @StateofPoland@mastodon.social

@JaneJohnsonBakr you shouldn't spread misinformation.

@JaneJohnsonBakr seagulls in the UK go crazy for flying ants when millions of these insects leave the nests en masse... they then get "drunk" as they can't fully digest all the toxins in the ants' bodies. I have driven through town at night and marvelled at drunk hordes of gulls staggering around the streets looking exactly like the weekend crowd of drunk students you would usually see instead. One even walked smack into the front of the car when I was stopped to let it swerve across the road...

@JaneJohnsonBakr Pickled pigeons

@JaneJohnsonBakr very elucidating on your behest

@JaneJohnsonBakr unfortunately #fakenews. This has been already debunked by multiple experts and the birds probably died as a result of having hit an obstacle.

@JaneJohnsonBakr Possibly “poisoned” is more accurate, and I can’t imagine this is something the birds did deliberately, even if are going to recover.

@JaneJohnsonBakr

Hmmm- Punch-Drunk...eh?

This is too Hilarious and kinda sweet!
😍

@JaneJohnsonBakr

Now "The White Hare" sounds like just the sort of ME book! *wink*

But this also sounds like a tale to be written up as well!

ME does have a vivid imagination for fairy tales!
☺️

@JaneJohnsonBakr

@JaneJohnsonBakr @Terrih Nothing worse than drunk birds. At least they don’t consume and fly. :awesome:

@JaneJohnsonBakr sorry but these birds are dead and you read a fake story my friend :(

@JaneJohnsonBakr I knew that’s was a reason I love the Poles.

@JaneJohnsonBakr Damn. And here's me having to get a taxi like some chump.

They've got it sorted.

@JaneJohnsonBakr @hoaxeye Is this true or rather the post on reddit? https://mastodon.social/@morgunkorn/109675412629317530

@JaneJohnsonBakr Yeah, I mean that looks like a loaded buffet table for carnivores!

@JaneJohnsonBakr we should do that for each other as well 😆

@JaneJohnsonBakr Delightful!

@JaneJohnsonBakr Same

@JaneJohnsonBakr Need an AAA Avian Alcoholics Anonymous

@JaneJohnsonBakr @redsage Umm, no: https://glitterkitten.co.uk/@doot/109673221453743975

@JaneJohnsonBakr

I was the shadow of the waxwing slain
By the strong liquor in the fruit again.

@JaneJohnsonBakr Guys! I just figured out what I want to come back as!

@JaneJohnsonBakr LOL... this is the funniest thing I've seen today

@JaneJohnsonBakr @RedwoodGirl this is apparently a fake: https://www.reddit.com/r/birding/comments/108ilhf/drunk_waxwings_fake_news/

@JaneJohnsonBakr The picture is not from Poland. The probable cause of death is striking a large glass pane. Here's some fact-checking, but it's in Polish, so I expect some will assume that the factcheckers were drunk. But this story has been debunked in other places too. https://konkret24.tvn24.pl/polska/to-sa-pijane-jemioluszki-nie-oto-co-przedstawia-zdjecie-i-gdzie-powstalo-6624499

@moffintosh

@JaneJohnsonBakr this doesn't really happen and the most likely explanation is that they hit something and are dead :(

@JaneJohnsonBakr In France we have the same problem with Les prépas scientifiques

@JaneJohnsonBakr
Thanks for sharing never came across of this before.

@JaneJohnsonBakr do the people do the same for their own kind? I love this. I didn't know this happened. Alcoholic birds. Do they go to rehab? 😂

@JaneJohnsonBakr
Dreadful sots!

@JaneJohnsonBakr just like humans then…

@JaneJohnsonBakr I almost don't believe it. It's funny!

@JaneJohnsonBakr I can just hear them the next morning, “OMG guys! Could you just STOP with the constant chirping!”

@JaneJohnsonBakr How amazing is that. Thank you Jane for this. 😊 🌷 🐥

@JaneJohnsonBakr I think those birds are actually dead, not drunk.

https://www.reddit.com/r/birding/comments/108ilhf/drunk_waxwings_fake_news

@JaneJohnsonBakr yeah, animals tend to also abuse toxins like alcohol.

Dolphins tend to chew on pufferfish and get high on Teterodotoxin...

And Elephants overendulge on the Amarula tree...

@JaneJohnsonBakr That the cat organization to easily catch the prize and return to their human with something to eat :)

@JaneJohnsonBakr Sadly, this is not the case, this photo got viral, but the reality isn't as funny as usual description indicates.
https://fakenews.pl/en/general/waxwings-visible-in-the-photo-are-dead-not-drunk-with-alcohol/

@JaneJohnsonBakr guess I just found my spirit animal?

@JaneJohnsonBakr The Polish word for waxwing is "jemiołuszka", somewhat related to "jemioła" - mistletoe.

@JaneJohnsonBakr

Reminds me of being on staff at a furry convention. :blobcatgooglyshrug:

(Just kidding, it never gets that bad. Conventions are great and I love helping run them. ❤)

@JaneJohnsonBakr @cloud_manul schau mal, selbst die Vögel…

@v_i_o_l_a Das ist Fake, siehe die Kommentare, da wird in vielen das hier verlinkt: https://www.reddit.com/r/birding/comments/108ilhf/drunk_waxwings_fake_news/

@JaneJohnsonBakr Me and the friends when we finally hit friday night

@JaneJohnsonBakr
Hello.
Sorry, but this was debunked.

@JaneJohnsonBakr la nature nous étonnera tjrs. Quelle merveille 🙏🏽🙏🏽

@JaneJohnsonBakr Rowan berries? Waxwings (tilhit) do this in Finland too.

@JaneJohnsonBakr in australia kangaroos eat farmed poppys for medical grade the kangaroos key so stoned they get stoned they hop aimlessly around in circles
