A parrot goes into a bar, orders four shots of the most expensive 30-year-old single-malt Scotch and downs them one after the other.

The barkeep says, “You look like you’re in a hurry.” “You would be too if you had what I have,” said the parrot .

“What have you got?”

“Fifty cents.”

Stupid vets. It is probably berries from a tree like a banyan. The berries ferment and they can get drunk. I have see it with doves and other birds near banyan trees.

My brother Bill runs a still on the hill
Where he turns out a gallon or two
And the buzzards in the sky get so drunk they can’t fly
Just from sniffing that good old mountain dew.

"They sit on the floor of the cage and rest their heads on the side, or they curl up in the corner and hide under the paper and block the rest of the world out."

Yep. That's a hangover alright.

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.
