I once saw a small flock (6-8 birds) clean out a bush in 10 minutes. Very effcient harvesters, them guys. They came back the next day. Just in case it made more berries overnight, I guess. We get them in the Seattle area in late spring as they make their way north - to some place up north. Maybe to visit Ted or David?

They are greedy little pigs when it comes to berries. Flocks have been found rolling around drunk on their little bird butts under mulberry trees when berries have fermented.
