The annual Northern Territory lorikeets drinking binge is on. 

Red-collared lorikeets, a  species of parrot in the Top End of the Australia gather in their thousands in large trees in Darwin and Palmerston to get drunk on fermented fruit at this time of year.

"They eating fruit that ferment and become intoxicated.   I had a poodle who ate apricots that had fallen beneath a tree in my garden.  I found her there drunk, a nasty snarling drunk at that...I suspect she had a severe hangover.  Aftr that I was carful to collect all fallen fruit beneath my trees as drunkenness in birds and animals can kill them.  It also makes birds and wildlife susceptible to predators.  My drunken dog was given a quiet place where she was abserved, to sleap it off and a lot of TLC.  Mind you she had a taste for the alcohol after that, lol, and always eyed off our wine glasses when we had a drink with a meal.  I think know she could smell the alcohol. Yes a true alcoholic dog.
