[cool] I had a Pelican follow me into Marina Del Rey after scoring on a large school of Mackeral. I was flipping them the smaller ones at first and thought it was funny how they gulped them down.
The trail of pelicans were growing in numbers as we were taching in the harbor. So we were throwing more and more mackerals. I was totally amused at how they swallow them whole and some time get stuck in their throats. We only ended up with about 30 mackerals to take home after chucking out around 40 or so.
The pelicans are just a larger version of the salty pigeon. They will scavange but are always willing to take free handouts.
