Drinking and Flying?!?

Author Brian Ives // Managing Editor, Beasley Media

This is a new one by us here on Set It Off Radio … We’ve heard of drinking, and driving a car … We’ve heard of drinking and riding a bike .. But never have we heard of drinking and flying.

This story has a cool twist to it however. These birds in Gilbert, Minnesota are apparently getting tipsy on fermented berries to the point where they’re flying around and crashing into windows! We’re not making this up … The Gilbert Police Department has received numerous calls on these tipsy birds to the point where they’ve released a statement.

The Gilbert Police Department said “People should not alert police about birds unless they see Bigbird operating a motor vehicle in an unsafe manner or Tweety acting as if 10ft tall and getting into confrontations with cats.”

Wow…
