Dozens of drunk seagulls have been found on beaches in Southwest England after scavenging alcohol, according to news reports.
Citing the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Sky News reports that some seagulls have died and others are “seriously ill.”
"The birds appear disoriented and confused and struggle to stand,” explained RSPCA vet David Couper. "We took some video of one of the birds who is staggering around and losing his balance just like a person would if they'd had too much to drink."
DevonLive reports that one seagull “reeking of beer” vomited over firefighters sent to rescue it after it had fallen off a roof in Lyme Regis.

Soccer Julian’s puke one the beach and the seagulls eat it ;-)
LOL!,
I would rather be around a bird staggering around than an elephant staggering around. Just saying. :-)
That, is one ugly parrot. Looks like a miniature Jaba The Hut.
LOL! (I love the names they give to booze these days.)
Actually, it was a catbird. It used to sing along with the music on tv. I remember especially when that little birdie sang along with one of Perry Como’s last Christmas Specials.
They send firefighters to rescue a seagull?
I meant to say hooligans, not Julian’s. Stupid auto correct and stupid couple of martinis in me preventing me from re-read before posting. Apologies to anyone there named Julian, of which I’m certain there are more than a few in England. Apology rescinded if you were indeed drunk and puked on the beach and your name is Julian.
When I was a kid, there was a mulberry tree in our yard. The flies got drunk and they couldn't fly. They just spun around in circles on the ground.
I’ve never understood how one could get their bearings with five eyes, anyway.
Being a drunk fly must be quite a discombobulating experience.

Very clever, I must say....
Are they going to bash the heads of Swedish waterfowl tomorrow?

I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.
“Give them some alka-selzter they will be fine.”
I’d pay to see that.
‘Baby Duck’ was VERY popular in Canada in the ‘70s and ‘80s. It was cheap, sweet, bubbly and low alcohol, almost a precursor of wine coolers. It was a perfect wine for a country that had not a clue about wine. Since that time, viniculture has grown exponentially in the Niagara region of Ontario and the Okanagan region of BC.
Dumb birds can’t hold their liquor.
Yes, I looked it up. It seems to be compared with the Mateus that we drank back in my salad days.
They’re making wine with cool names everywhere, now:

African Grey’s are the smartest living dinosaurs. He was saying get your lazy cat ass up. We are going to the bar.
LOL, great pic.
