Yeah, the birds on Aotearoa truly are a special kind of funny. xD

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. 😅

This seems to be and old hoax / fake news photo. Only one bird survived. They were not poisoned but hit by a vehicle.

Birds do occasionally get ethanol poisoning from frozen/fermented fruits though. Since they are small, the dosage is often lethal.
