11 Surprises Of Nature That Will Make Anyone Say "Really?" (Drunk Birds Are Totally Worth Looking At)

You’re sure to have seen animals, birds, and insects out in the wild before but have you ever wondered what their lives are like from their perspective? It can be a bit difficult to imagine, but it’s actually quite fun because they’re living organisms who, like us, have a daily purpose. For example, to fill just one small honey jar, 22,700 bees have to work for their whole lives. We gathered some interesting facts about the world around us.

Birds can get drunk and have drunken sing-alongs. Researchers from the University of Oregon conducted a study using amadins and found out that alcohol influences their singing abilities: they get unusual tones, break the rhythm, and don't sing as well as they usually do. In fact, in their natural habitat, birds are rarely found to be under the influence of alcohol and if they are, then it's mainly due to fermented berries. The birds can also eat a ripe berry that will then become fermented inside the bird — it just depends on the structure of the digestive system. Drunk birds can lose motor control and even try to steady themselves on the ground. Sounds just like people, doesn't it? © eta 4ever / Flickr, © eta 4ever / Flickr
