In Australia, there is a city falling parrots

Darwin - the city in Australia, with a population of less than one hundred thousand people, is famous for its modern architecture, and is the capital of the Northern Territory. But in the spring it is quite unusual city, or rather to say, an unusual place. The fact is that every year there is a falling spring birds from the sky!

Hundreds of parrots lorievyh fall from the trees and behave as if they were drunk. Lorievye parrots - are small, brightly colored rainbow of colors parrots, which are selected in the spring of Darwin residents in the streets and are in a veterinary clinic.

They have a vague opinion, there is no coordination, parrots painfully react to light and almost no rise. One gets the impression that they are "drunk", lose control and fall to the ground.

While the causes of "drunkenness" parrots unclear. Several ideas. Veterinarians suggest that poor coordination may be a symptom of poisoning, but it happens every spring and it's unclear what exactly they can be poisoned. It was also put forward a theory that the cause is a virus, but this is not proven. Finally, the researchers suggest that the drunk parrot from its usual goodies. They feed on flower nectar and pollen, and there is a version that they can build up after the rains alcohol-based ingredients, but it is only one of the guesswork.

Without good Australians, who raise birds, and proper care of veterinarians, these beautiful parrots could die. Their reduced cereal and fresh fruit. Now Darwin Veterinary Hospital is located about two hundred fallen parrots.
