Mildly "drunk", that is something new for me, but eating fermented fruit what else to be? πŸ˜„
Wonderful shots, I love them puffed, they are so sweet this way.
Cold was here too, today and yesterday is like spring and we expect another cold front in the weekend. So, I guess I will have some puffed birds too.

Sort: Β 

I had never heard of it ("mildly drunk") till I looked it up in relation to some other birds β€” Cedar Waxwings β€” here that behave in a similar way. You wouldn't think berries with maybe 1-2% natural fermentation alcohol would do much, but birds are tiny, and they eat a LOT of berries.
