What the....?

    Now, what's wrong with this picture? 

    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.

  2. I think what we're seeing here is actually the first ever hate-crime in the animal kingdom, Vamp.
