very fishy!

When the fishings is slow the kids always can count on the pelicans to make things interesting.
This one was particularly friendly and took the fish right from the hand.
(Just don't have to be jumpy when they open that huge beak )

Pelicans have been known to eat pigeons whole in London.....



Wonder if they might be trained to take gulls ?
