Yeah, that's the issue. They are large birds which swallow their prey whole. A brown pelican weighs about 7 lbs yet swallows fish which would choke a human. Their digestive system needs to handle solid bones. Pelican stuff is substantial and nasty.
Wonderful, graceful fliers though. Just don't be under them when they do their business.
There's a posh area in South Belfast called Malone Road. You know the kind - pricey homes, snooty people, yada yada.
Years ago, the richers got together and decided that releasing peacocks throughout the neighbourhood would add the just right note of more-money-than-brains. The experiment lasted about two weeks, because it turns out that not only do peacocks actively prefer to shit on cars, they will also try to bury the poo that they've just left on the bonnet of a high-end Bentley or Aston Martin. Scratchy scratchy.
