Drunk Birds In The Wild.

[Catherine]

I am trying to picture a whole flock of Lorikeets with hangovers. It staggers the imagination. They are noisy and brightly coloured and they would really prefer silence and soft colours while recovering.

It would be interesting to have someone seriously study animal "drinking" habits. It is a global phenomena and it affects a wide range of species. A drunken moose would be quite a sight.

We could have a real problem if Orangutans ever figured out they can get alcohol in a store. They would start raiding places and get drunk. New posters would have to read "Please don't drink and fly" and "Please don't drink and climb trees".
I don't imagine a drunken Orangutan could climb a tree safely.
