    I heard it once somewhere (so it could be total bullshit), but the birds , who fly into windows, are drunk from overripe berries.

    Ergo, don’t forget to put up a poster about drunk driving awareness

      It’s not bullshit. When I lived in Edmonton, we had a mountain ash tree in our front yard, as did many others along our street. In the winter, the birds would hop from tree to tree, eating the fermented berries, getting more and more blitzed with each bar tree they visited.
