The dead Romanian birds drank themselves to death?
 

Apparently so...

Alcohol poisoning, not avian flu, killed Romanian birds


Birds that were thought to have died from avian flu in Romania instead apparently drank themselves to death.

Residents of Constanta in eastern Romania found dozens of dead starlings on the outskirts of the city on Saturday.

They alerted authorities, fearing the birds had died from avian flu.

But local veterinary officials decided the starlings had died after eating grape 'marc' - the leftovers from the wine-making process.

The head of the local sanitary and veterinary authority, Dvsva, told news agency Agerpres that analysis of the starlings' gizzards showed they had died from alcohol poisoning.

There have been a number of unexplained mass bird deaths recently in several countries, including the United States and Sweden.

Fireworks were blamed for the deaths of thousands of red-winged blackbirds in Arkansas, while in Sweden officials believe almost 100 jackdaws found dead in the centre of a town had simply been run over.

I can fly like a bird..

I am sure that you can.

Last few days on the news I saw the birds drunk, starved, because of cold weather etc etc etc
Nobody knows the real reason and I see it at least as a strange coincidence. We will never know for sure.
In Romania the vets are so "well trained" that when you go at one with the pet the first step is to do it surgery and the next step is euthanasia. That happened with all my cats and dogs during the years.
I have a neighbor that is vet and all that he have in the house to cure animals is the proper injection. He only says "screw it, buy another that is healthier than this one"

alco birds, damn who leaved liker
