"Drunk" parrots falling from trees in Australia!!!

Red collar lorikeets have been falling out of trees in Australia and then staggering around in an apparently inebriated state, alarming wildlife experts and veterinary surgeons.

Birds struck down by the as-yet-unidentified illness in Darwin show classic signs of human drunkenness, apparently losing all coordination before passing out. When they wake up, they cower in cages as they recover from their "hangovers".

The affliction is seasonal, with most lorikeets recovering within a few weeks, only to become ill again at the same time the following year. More...

Don't miss:

  1. It's raining fish in Australia!!!
  2. Dead starlings fall from the sky in Somerset...
  3. Dead birds falling from the sky in Western Australia...
  4. Boozing, smoking chimp sent for rehab!!!
  5. Just a bit too drunk!!!
