I had the pleasure of watching a squirrel indulge a little too heavily in my backyard. The impaired climbing made me laugh so hard.

The hangover for their little bodies must be crazy

I had a bird bar outside my house... unknown orange thorn-bush, Sierra Nevada mountains, where Steller Jays, Robins, etc... all got smashed and it was highly entertaining:) no birds to my knowledge got harmed but they sure showed some floppy flight!

FUI(Flying Under Influence) is illegal, I hope those birds rot in jail.

Watched a geadfather bull moose (largest ive seen) getting punch drunk off the mountain ash berries LAST NIGHT in Anchorage, Alaska.
Seems it isn't limited to just the waxwings up here.

My grandpa found one, we took it inside and gave it food, and let it nap

[@NIGHTOWL-jf9zt]

At least they are happy. I hope the local Blue Jays don't pull them over for F.W I. They will end up in Aviary court and lose their right to fly for a minimum of 60 days and have to pay 35 crab apples!

[@QueBeraBera]

Ummm, Blue Jays are in fact cannibalizing, serial killers 🤪. Jus FYI. 🙀

Don’t let mumei know this info. She will find out & get her berries.

[@shneeb8758]

Disgusting... With all the available transportation options nowadays, they have no excuse to drink and fly....

[@KrayzieRoach]

dont drink-n-fly

[@shaquilledean2218]

Don't drink and fly.
Cancel their flying lisence please. Untill these little monsters get sober.
