Bohemian Waxwing

Bohemian Waxwing

Bohemian waxwing is a species of bird which can eat huge amounts of berries, sometimes more than double its own weight. Their large liver helps in converting sugar to energy. The fermentation of those sugary fruits however produces a lot of ethanol which they can metabolize more efficiently than humans, but they still might become intoxicated, sometimes fatally.
