Inebriated kererū pigeons binge on fruit punch

A native wood pigeon known for becoming dazed and clumsy after eating fermented fruit has been named the 2018 bird of the year in New Zealand. Rescue centres have been set up around New Zealand as the birds often fly into windows, garages or fall off trees and hurt themselves. Road signs warn motorists to be careful because of flying kererū, which can cause serious damage because of their size and weight.
