When I was a kid, I lived in a very rural area with several small farms and a lot of apple orchards. Every year the farm pigs would either break out, or be sneakily released, into neighboring orchard where they would literally “pig out” on fermented windfall apples.
Watching the farmers argue about which pig belonged to who and try to herd drunken pigs back into their sties was always a hoot and a half for the kids in the area.
This is not limited to that part of Oz. These birds hit the trees that have fermented berries. They get drunk and go wild. It sounds like a fraternity party.
