Des jaseurs trop saouls pour voler

❌ Fake Interpretation Those waxwings aren’t drunk — they’re dead! https://cvc.li/QHyAK A widely circulated photo showing a group of waxwings lying on the ground was initially misrepresented on social media as being taken in Poland and showing birds intoxicated by fermented berries. However, this claim was quickly debunked by Polish media outlets. https://cvc.li/IQRPU Experts clarified that birds under the influence of alcohol suffer from motor coordination issues and would not be able to fly in such a tight formation. This strongly suggests that the flock collided with an obstacle mid-flight rather than succumbing to intoxication. https://cvc.li/TWDuj The image was actually taken in Chernihiv, Ukraine, on 07/01/24. The birds were found with broken beaks, legs and torn internal organs. The original photo was posted on facebook on 08/01/24 in a group of volunteers helping homeless animals . https://cvc.li/YOJvF The birds were found lying near the Heroiv Chornobylia Street (Boiova) bus stop. There are in fact rowan trees growing nearby the bus stop. https://cvc.li/Tyuoj https://cvc.li/taIOG https://cvc.li/RiWRj The good news, 1 bird survived! https://cvc.li/FRfIe
