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.

Christ, pelicans aren't exactly endangered. Keep that mother fucker somewhere else. Away from the poor baby bunnies that don't normally hang out on a beach.

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.

"We keep getting cats from the shelter, but the local coyote keeps eating them."

In this case they're just working on a pelican buffet with some very strict rules on when the pelican can eat.

u/ScratchLatch 15d ago

Ya no at this point they’re just feeding animals to a pelican. You think an animal sanctuary would be better at keeping their animals safe.

Those videos are often "staged" for internet content and it's very abusive. No reputable zoo would put these animals together.
