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.

First the people. Now the birds. Where will it end?

I'm hoping that Nessie is next. This will lead to her being discovered when she forgets to hide. Photos everywhere of the Drunk Ness monster with a huge hangover.

If I lived in the England of today, the only condition I would want to be in would be “drunk”.

That’s one of my favorite birds; but they’re strong enough to break your arm if they get riled.

Many early Americans thought it was the smartest bird they’d ever encountered.
