Irish bird watchers were left horrified after a dozen rare birds were poisoned in a Dublin suburb.

Bird experts were initially perplexed after a group of birds fell to the ground apparently drunk.

About a dozen rare Waxwing birds dropped from their perches in a tree in Glasnevin, Dublin, last week.

Let this be a lesson to any bird out there who takes alcohol and even Red Bull, you can drop dead literally!

Once again, the Herald behind the times with news. This story was in the "local news" paper about two weeks ago. Not the first time that the herald has taken a story that was originally printed in the local news.
