    This seems to be and old hoax / fake news photo. Only one bird survived the ethanol poisoning from the fruits.

      From the Summary of the article you linked (emphasis mine):

      A photo of waxwings, which became popular in the Polish Internet space, shows dead birds that died as a result of a collision with a bus shelter in Ukraine. Their arrangement indicates that they flew in a compact formation. Therefore, it is unlikely that the collision occurred as a result of coordination disorders after ingesting alcohol.

        True, I mixed that up after reading the article because I dug into birds and ethanol poisoning and by the time I posted the comment I had forgotten, that the birds from the photo were unrelated to ethanol poisoning.

        Thanks for pointing that out. I added misinformation on top of a good source. 😅

      I reject your reality and accept OP’s reality - where these birds are alive and happily drunk. Sorry, but that’s just the world we live in now.

    The elites don’t want you to know this but the waxwing birds at the park are free. You can take them home. I have 458 waxwing birds.

    Oh sure, they’re allowed to get drunk in public and pass out on the sidewalk, but when I do it it’s a misdemeanor 🫩

    I used to have a couple of pear trees in the yard of my old house, and I learned to pick up any fruit that fell on the ground. If I didn’t, the juice would ferment under the skin, and wasps would pierce the skin, drink the juice, and get drunk.

    It turns out that wasps get real belligerent when drunk, and I’d go out to work on my garden and have to run back into the house for cover from some drunken wasp.

    Who would known? Actually, probably everybody. It tracks that wasps would be mean drunks.

    I had a huge elderberry tree in my backyard at my old place. There was always a murder of crows, some bluejays, and a couple of fat opossums that would get drunk off of them every year. The crows in particular would become very vocal when drunk. LOL

        Would those be scavengers then?

    • hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      1. in an urban environment, predators are usually more scarce than in rural environments, and the ones that do live in urban areas won’t touch any prey animal if there’s a human nearby.

      2. there are people putting them in safe places, that may include safe from predators too.

      3. A lot of predators are nocturnal (foxes, owls)

        There were coyotes that hunted the bznks of the large creek that ran behind my house. They would often chase prey into the neighborhood, but they would never pursue, they would figure out ways to go around. They also would hunt in packs during the winter and even then. they never came into neighborhoods or yards.
