[Birdtalk] Sleeping Quail

[Joseph]

Here's my favorite scenario...

The birds have been eating poultry mash
that someone put out for them. 
It rained yesterday in Salt Lake. The
mash got wet and fermented.
The fermentation created alcohol and
the alcohol made the birds drunk.

It sure is a joy to see Robins or 
Cedar waxwings that get drunk during
the winter when they are feeding on
fermented fruit.



Another scenario would be that the birds
got poisoned because the rain washed 
the pesticides and herbicides that people
put on their lawns into their favorite
drinking spot.
