Reminds me of the kereru, who are mildly infamous in NZ for getting drunk on berries and then falling on your roof with the elegance and grace of a brick. Look at this adorable idiot.

The thing about kereru is they are thiccc. Even when they aren't drunk flight is a serious challenge for them on account of their very low chonk-to-brain-cell ratio. When they fly, they make a really loud fwop-fwop-fwop noise as they use their sheer girth to pull themselves through the air against gravity, natural law and common sense.

very low chonk-to-brain-cell ratio

That would be a very high chonk-to-brain-cell ratio, no? Or a low brain-cell-to-chonk ratio?
