Birds charged with FWI

Another social problem of increasing severity has come to light -- avian alcoholism. This disease is causing injuries, death, and family dysfunction in bird families across the nation.*

Recently, the first avian chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous (AAA) was formed in Columbia, South Carolina, after a shocking incident in which many drunken birds perished and others were treated for concussions after overindulging in fermented holly berries.

In other parts of the country, drunken birds have attacked people who passed by holly or pyracantha bushes where partying birds had become intoxicated.

Avian alcoholism has lead to dysfunctional bird families and bird homelessness.

*It is now suspected that the birds in the Hitchcock movie were fed fermented berries in preparation for their role. Animal activists are investigating.
