Connecticut Wildlife Refuge Treats Intoxicated Vultures Found in Dumpster

The vultures, deemed too drunk to fly after consuming fermented food, were rehabilitated and released back into the wild.

Two black vultures in Connecticut were found intoxicated and unable to fly due to consuming fermented foods from a dumpster.
A Place Called Hope, a wildlife rehabilitation center, treated the birds with fluids and a hearty breakfast before releasing them.
The incident occurred around the time of a solar eclipse, adding unusual timing to the vultures' misadventure.
Officials urge the public to secure dumpsters to prevent wildlife from accessing potentially harmful substances.
The vultures rejoined their colony in the wild shortly after their recovery.
