Where did Edgar write that? I didn't see any post from Edgar. I never blocked sender

and watch them play on the playa.

What they (the locals) didn't know was that about a hundred pelicans
had figured out that this year the aquarium was bursting with life
under the water. We spent days sitting under the palapas watching the
families playing in the water fighting off the pelicans who were
trying to catch their dinner. The pelicans were dive bombing into the
water everywhere, inches away from people who were just trying to cool
off. We heard a lot of screams and men trying to drive them off but
the pelicans never hurt anyone and never went away.

What a show.

I remember standing on the pier at St. Pete FL one day and there was a
flock of pelicans...maybe about 30 of them, just hanfig out. Being a
bird type of person, I walked over to have a chat (those who know me
will tell you that I do indeed talk to birds)..thisfisherman started
yelling at me that they were dangerous and that I would get hurt.
pfffttt..they sidled up to me and made their squaky noises...they
weren't averse to me petting them, either...I didn't have anything to
feed them and probably wouildn't have because it was a fishing area and
getting fisher people angry is not a good thing...when I walked away,
they followed for a bit and then decided since I wasn't good for food
they'd go back and harass the guy that thought they were dangerous...- Hide quoted text -

Try again.....

We love the pelicans. They are smart birds and beautiful to watch in
the air, especially when they are cruising the water just inches
above.

Sheeee! I was this close to getting Katy going. And probably that Old Thom character.
But, you really spoiled my fun with that flashbacking LSD loser Jonathan Ganz.
Spank!

I never saw a pelican eat anything but fish and shrimp. Yes, they do dive
down and eat shrimp. too. Pelicans don't bite. But please don't try to get next
to one of those big white herons with the sharp pointy beaks. They'll stab
you with them. They can kill little dogs...
