Body Language

If waxwings could talk, I imagine the conversation went something like this: (on the right) "Hey, I was here first, why don't you just make like the birds and flock-off!"..... (the left one responds)--"Oh ya, you and whose army gonna' make me birdbrain!"

 

Because mountain ash berries ferment and produce alcohol after the first frost, sometimes the birds get quite drunk. CBC News did an interesting story that went viral recently about Yukon's "drunk tank" for waxwings www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/drunk-birds-sober-up-in-envi...
