About this tag
Grape marc, the leftover skins, seeds, and stems from winemaking, can pose a hazard to wildlife when consumed in large quantities. A thread on WindowsForum discusses an incident in Constanta, Romania, where dozens of starlings died after eating grape marc that had fermented, leading to alcohol poisoning. The birds were initially suspected to have avian flu, but tests confirmed the cause as intoxication from the fermented grape byproduct. This tag covers discussions about grape marc as a substance that can be toxic to birds and other animals, particularly in agricultural or winemaking regions where it may be left accessible.
