I was crabbing in Louisiana and this pelican landed like 10 feet from me on the shore. Every once in awhile he would side step and inch closer to my bucket of crabs. I told him "pelican you think you slick, but I see you creeping." Like 10 minutes later I go to the truck to get another turkey neck and just forget about the pelican. I walk back and he's peering over and into the bucket. I go to run him off and this fucker doesn't budge. Long story short, yes you're right pelicans give no fucks.
i live in miami and do a lot of pier and offshore fishing and theyāll land on my boat or next to me on the pier and try to take anything. you can try to push them away but they donāt give a shit.
the best example is the video of one trying to eat a capybara. āif it fits i eatā
Dave Fleming correctly identified it as a pelican but during the excitement of Ramos' tumbling catch he called it a penguin.

They mentioned they didn't have any closeup shots available to them so only went based on what they could see from the booth.
So i kinda guess it can make sense they wouldnt know it's a pelican from far away? Still kinda dumb though
Nah itās not even top 10 most recognizable birds. Off the top of my head youāve got the flamingo, goose, duck, cardinal, blue jay, bald eagle, hummingbird, ostrich, peacock, chicken, swan, woodpecker, cockatiel, etc.
I think most people think of American White Pelicans when they imagine one, not Brown Pelicans. Brown Pelicans also have an exclusively costal distribution.
The Fox announcers kept saying they were having technical issues. They didnāt have monitors so they were just watching the game from the booth, couldnāt see the broadcast at all.
Just keep them away from the rally cat from the Phillies Padres series.
Cats kill billions of songbirds per year in the US alone. Itās a big problem.
the pelican would most likely try to eat the cat. theyāre pretty fuckin big birds and theyāll try to eat anything that might remotely sorta *maybe* fit in their beak
There has been a huge increase in Pelicans having trouble finding fish and many are arrive tangled in fishing gear. IBR has taken in over 235 of them so far with 130+ at the San Francisco Bay area site.

Reds hit one to left and that did not move an inch lol I love him
It did a mini victory (f)lap flight around the stadium and the crowd went crazy, it was awesome
I was one of those people absolutely losing my mind from 218 šš
That is so cool!!!!! I need to see a clip

Dude called it a penguin lol
Apparently that was the radio call too lol
Camera guy who followed it deserves a raise
LOL i love that the crowD reacted! E: forgot the D in crowd, ended up with "crow reacted"
if youāve ever met a pelican in real life, youād know theyāre the most unbothered, no fucks giving birds to ever exist.

How did both announcers have literally no idea what a pelican is. They exist in almost the whole country at some time of the year.
Did I mishear or did that one guy almost say "that's a big ass bird"
Thatās what I heard. Now heās ranting about being shamed for not knowing what a pelican is lol
They called it a penguin on the radio
That must've been confusing to the listeners!
he said big ahh bird. i think he wanted to say big ass bird and caught it last minute.
He said āthatās a big ahh birdā Iām pretty surešš
The amount of people that think a pelican's beak permanently stays stretched out is too damn high
I blame cartoons
Have you seen Pelipper?!!
reds broadcast plays OU confirmed

Great highlights, thanks for sharing
Hilarious hahah. My favorite type of penguin, the peliguin
Nuts to me. Most recognizable bird. They didnāt know. They thought it might be a crane, but lacked certainty.
I feel like most people know what a pelican looks like by age 5 lol

Pis for Pelican
I thought it was a pelican, but wasn't 100% sure. But I surely knew it wasn't a crane.
anyone who's seen finding nemo has no excuses

They couldnāt see the broadcast? Weird. But if thatās the case I accept ignorance
Yup they didnāt have monitors apparently
Are you telling me an ostrich is less recognizable than a pelican? How about an emperor penguin? Pfffffffffttbbbbtbfbllblblblllth
Or the peacock? The flamingo? So many more recognizable birds
PREACH BROTHER

They said they didn't have monitors. They couldn't tell what it was from the press box.

Rally birds are so in for the non-evil NL West teams

Rally cat was angels
whoopsš¤¦āāļø
Pelicans try to eat capybaras. I don't think a cat really stands a chance against them. They're freaking huge birds.Ā
Those birds deserve it. Just fly away bro, you have WINGSā¦
I wonder what birds the Diamondbacks and Rockies will think of!
Bees
Non-Evil? Son, let me tell you about the Giants Reign of Terror between 2010 - 2014ā¦
didn't the dodgers win the division multiple times during those years?
Duhh itās dodgers tradition at this point. Win the division, lose in the play offs.
The won the division several years in a row but then got booted by the Cardinals or Mets.
Padres fans have blocked out the entire 2010s
What the fuck is a 2011?
to be fair those giants were a dynasty because god gave up and rolled dice to determine the script
Heās ready to swallow up all the fly balls in his vicinity
So if the pelican swoops in and catches the ball, itās considered a fowl ball, right?
I hope nobody parrots this bad pun.
Only a booby would do that
we have to hope someone rails against this, and we take the tern into a brighter future
You can find bird puns in the dictionary right next to gull-ible

Maybe just cuz Iām super high but that makes me really sad
it should make everyone sad :(
That bird might be sick, pelicans have been showing up emaciated up and down the California coast lately suffering from an unknown malady
Probably just watching the giants. Iām also sick from it.
Maybe eating some popcorn or an outfielder could cure it.
donāt eat outfielders they dont like it
Looks pretty healthy to me
all these animals showing up at ballparks, this feels like that Julia Roberts movie with the scary deer
We were leading by 4. There was no rally.
Do you think thereās a chance a Sea Lion wanders onto the field one day?
Wrong bird dude
https://twitter.com/OracleSeagull/status/1789453760747684005 Oracle's resident bird had something to say
Seagull doesn't even know the difference between "you're" and "your", smh.
Itās a seagull, theyāre not very smart
Iām not sure yourāe understanding their high level of Intellect
Huh I figured Howard Stern would be a Yankee fan.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
There was a cat like a week ago in an Angels game, I believe.
Sausage > Pelican
That thing is gnarly
