LOL. Drunken bird antics?

I throw left over sliced fruit and berries on my roof for the birds. Had a lot of left over melons and berries yesterday.

I think they may have fermented. There's a crow chest bump mash up going on the roof and in the trees. And lots of calls back and forth.

It's mating time, so that may be the thing. Sure looks like a frat event, though.

I had a concord grape vine on one of the fences. In September when the grapes ripened, the birds ate them to their hearts' delight. Judging by their behavior, I am certain that they had fermented.

treated to a Bob Fosse musical rendition from the birds tapping/dancing on my sunroof. It sometimes gets quite loud. It's like party time!
