Yes. That's a pelican. And, yes. That's a pigeon in his mouth. I know the British like their squab, but this is ridiculous. Strange things are afoot in England, methinks...

*update* I should point out that the pigeon didn't make it (thanks Paul). Apparently, in my complete and utter shock at the whole event, I forgot to mention that the pelican wrestled the pigeon around for twenty minutes before managing to swallow it whole.
Its our new weapon against the ever present danger of pigeon's crapping on your head.

ReplyDeleteThe pelican eventually swallowed the pigeon.
