This morning I got a phone call from Prairie Wildlife informing me that the bird was just released on my street, good as new! I did my happy dance, then asked what had been wrong with it, a hurt wing perhaps? No.
THE BIRD WAS DRUNK!!!!
The main diet of the Cedar Waxwing is fruit. Occasionally, the berries left on the tree over winter ferment. The bird eats the berries and gets completely inebriated! Tipsy! Tight! Plastered!
So I can proudly say I drove a bird to the drunk tank!
The picture above is not of the bird I found. It wanted to remain anonymous (the embarrassment) so I posted a picture of a sober Cedar Waxwing taken a few years ago.
Happy Stitching!

ROTFL that's the funniest thing I've heard all day! I would never have guess a bird could get drunk, LOLOL!!
That's hilarious! Good thing you drove, your bird shouldn't be flying while under the influence.
Lol! That made my day. Just when you thought you had heard it all....... :)
Oh, that was too great! Poor bird, I guess we've all been there. :)

That's just too funny! I did not know that could happen.
That is priceless!
This is hilarious!! I came here to see what you had sewed last night for the FNSI!!! This brought a smile to my face though!
LOL! so funny!
That's a beautiful bird! When I was a child, the birds would do the same thing with some berries in our yard. So funny as long as they don't get hurt!
Now - I just LOVED your story - how wonderful and what a lovely looking bird that is
