Drunk Pigeons In Whangarei
NewsRoom.co.nz Agency Story at 4:02 PM, 03 Aug 2005
Whangarei's Native Bird Recovery centre is appealing to householders to act quickly if they spot a drunk native pigeon staggering about their lawn.
Robert Webb, the centre's manager, says dozens of kereru have been brought in dazed and confused after plundering guava trees and other fruit in local gardens.
He says the birds have been having a hard time in the forest this winter because their usual food trees like taraire have had a poor fruiting season.
Mr Webb says the birds are getting so drunk they fall out of the trees and are easy prey for cats and dogs.
