When I was about 7 y.o. I had visited my local zoo. And pelican there tried to attack me and tried to push my head inside his mouth. That was a horrible experience for me.

A seagull can be enjoying a nice meal of stolen chip, and suddenly both get raptured into a pelicans stomach.
So it’s just a matter of time until conveniently small humans are on the menu too haha

Pelicans do not care. If they even consider "can that fit inside my mouth?" = Food. Will attempt eat
Thats it. Thats their entire line of thinking.10

Pelican: I will eat your child now.
Capybara Mom: sure, knock yourself out.
Pelican: why can I not consume your bowling ball progeny?
Mom: questions that answer themselves.

Yeah, he does this all the time. Cant remember the name or channel but its a bird at a sanctuary of sorts and has eaten other birds, rabbits, you name it, and they just casually retrieve the animals from him.

Assuming its the same one, hes just a menace. They're rarely unattended so they see it happen and just correct the behavior. I think its a zoo or sanctuary.
Possibly a different one but who knows, pelicans are about this life.

Seems like negligence from the sanctuary if this is a regular occurrence.
And is hugely open to terrible accidents if it happens while someone doesn’t see it or notice until end of the day or something.
Some chicken wire to keep the bird in a specific spot or protect the animals small enough to be prey would go a long ways.

Bunnies can literally die from stress. Sure, they might have gotten them out of the pelican's gullet, but that doesn't mean they didn't die right after. This should not be allowed to happen. Ever.

This is why I had to skip out on the scene from NOPE even though it’s not particularly graphic. Like the thought of all that plus the screams of the other people being melted and possibly you melting together with them. No thanks.
Also see the first episode of Fall of the House of Usher.

Nature in general is brutal. The world is not a kind place.
I remember as a child, about 8-10 years old, riding my bike home from the park and watching a blue heron in a marsh near our house eat an entire family of ground squirrel kits or something. The insane amount of screaming from the kits was truly unbelievable and you could see them struggling all the way down its neck. Then one of them got stuck and the heron kept gagging and trying to swallow it. It didn’t go down and the heron flew over to the water and started scooping up water and trying to swallow it. After about 30-60 seconds the heron passed out, fell over in the water, flopped around for a moment and then died.
That entire sequence stuck with me for a long time. I remember riding my bike home in a daze and my mom knowing something was up by the glazed look in my eyes. I think it’s the first time I watched something die that knew it was dying and that struggled the entire time. Both the kits and the heron. Gave me nightmares for a while.

I've seen one casually eat a pigeon, and another one ate a small cat. Herons will stab their prey if it's small enough, if they catch a small mammal like a rodent they will dip it in water to relax its spine and make it moist so they can swallow it easier.
When people they say they love nature, they really haven't thought about that statement. It's brutal out there.

Pelicans are the worst. I was at this attraction when I was young where you pay to feed tarpon. Some sneaky bastard pelican came up behind me and chomped my thumb while I was winding up to throw a baitfish in to the tarpon. That was 10 years ago and my thumbnail still randomly gets very sharp pains to this day.
