At the marina a man finished cleaning his fish , he was feeding all the
birds. Then he took his clean fish and
put it in his ice chest or cooler or what ever he had and started swatting
at birds. I was lmao watching the birds
just flood his boat.

I had an outside deck at my former restaurant. We had a sign not to feed the
birds. There was always some AH in the crowd that did though. The rest of the
customers would handle it pretty vocally. My favorite was when someone
complained about bird **** in their food and wanted a refund.... Don't sit
out side there are flies out there too.

We have a situation here down in VA Beach where the ASPCA is having to
do a large rescue job on baby pelicans that did not migrate south
becasue tourists fed them all summer and they didn't learn how to
hunt...there are over 100 starved juveniles that they're feeding 5 lbs
of fish to a day...my concern is that they not just get them back
healthy but that they set up some program to teach these birds how to
survive without having to really on human offerings...

that's terrible that many birds all messed up.
seems it would be better for the birds just to bring them south
and let them learn to feed themselves. not only would they have plenty of
food from the ocean but the other birds would kind of teach them. Then it
would
not cost the tax payer. And of course the people have got to stop feeding.

People feed the birds out of kindness. What are they gonna do with the scraps
left when they clean fish? Or the extra bait they didn't use. They can take it home
and toss it in the garbage disposal. They can put it in the trash and let it rot and
stink. Or they can recycle it in natures own way.
No, the problem's not with people feeding birds or manatees or whatever. What
happens is extra food usually is turned into extra babies. Extra babies grow up
and increase the size of the flock. But, what the flock eats doesn't necessarily
get bigger. So if people stop feeding all of a sudden some birds starve. It's usually
the weaker ones that don't make it. This is just God's way. So if you have compassion
for animals don't stop feeding them all of a sudden. You just murder them doing that.
Overpopulation takes care of itself over time. Nature just works that way. Even
if no people are feeding animals it still happens. A herd of buffalos might have five
years of good grass and water. The heard gets very big. Then comes along a drought.
Very little grass and little water. The weaker animals in the herd die off first. Then
even some of the regular animals and maybe even some of the stronger ones. But the
ones that survive are the best of them all. When the rains come again these best
animals breed and make better best babies. The herd benefits. It's nature's way.
Ya gotta ask yourself something. Are people part of nature or not? People are
part of nature fer sure. So people feeding birds are just part of nature's natural
cycles. Trying to second-guess nature is pretty dumb. It would be better to just go
ahead and feed away. But if there gets to be too many because of it then catch them.
Dress them. Eat them. I don't know if seagulls taste good but they probably taste like
chicken. So why not eat them? Why not eat the lazy and weak pelicans if they taste
good? If they taste bad chop them up and use them for cat food. But don't let them
breed and make the flock weaker. Nature wants the flock stronger.

Ellen

You are right. There is no question that the human race is part of nature
but we are simultaneously overpopulating the planet while medical research
is making every effort to defeat nature's efforts at natural selection.
Humanity has got it coming and I am quite glad that I surely will not be

Just after Christmas we were at anchor in Tenacatita bay, commonly
known as "The Aquarium" because of all the great rocks to the west of
the bay where the fish flourish. The Mexican locals love to vacation
on this stretch of beach and it was a treat to intermingle with them
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

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...

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.

Cut it out *Ellen* Everybody knows I don't post from teranews. You'll just
get everybody thinking everybody's my sock puppet. ;-)

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...

You are right. There is no question that the human race is part of nature

Humanity has got it coming and I am quite glad that I surely will not be
around when it finally happens.
