Depressed Pelican Eats Pigeon
Right - loads of you sent me this. Horrific:
Click on this link for the full story.
Turns out the pigeon’s name was Alf, and he only got in for the ride - which is why he doesn’t look like he’s shitting himself in the pic. I reckon, worse than that, he looks positively excited.
He climbed in on the promise of a ‘view of the park’, and got swallowed, whole. Outrageous.
Apparently, the pelican in question, Derek, had been suffering from depression for some time now. Poor fuck.
He actually thought ’stay low’, which turned out to be Alf’s last request based on his love of 1940s War Movies, was Alf saying ’swallow’. Jesus.
Not good, especially if Derek spreads the word that Alf turned out to be the best early afternoon snack he’d ever had.

As one of the people who sent you this link, I knew that you would have the low-down on the real story. Just pleased that it wasn’t you mate as that was my main worry.

Hey Annie: No - no-one knew Alf. Apparently he was a bit of a loner and used to hang out with the pelicans quite alot… I’m guessing any other pigeons out there with similar fancies are thinking again!

RoooRoooo: Nice theory - maybe it was a hawk disguised as a pelican?!

Elf Mandinio: No - I didn’t see the prog but a pal who was in it told me all about it. He was one of the poor fucks flying around looking for his house for 48 hours. Jesus. How did they expect that not to seriously mess with a pigeon’s head? Imagine if you came home one day - and your house simply wasn’t there anymore? Not funny. Not even slightly.

Hi, just visiting from Sydney Australia because Ham, a fellow city daily photo blogger from London recommended your site. 2 things to say :
1. I posted a pigeon photo today that you might want to have a look at and
2. re your post 28 Aug, I wonder if your mysterious American pigeon could be an Australian crested pigeon. I’ve seen heaps of those here. Check out http://www.animalpicturesarchive.com/list.php?qry=Australian%20crested%20pigeon for more photos.
Cheers
