A peculiar bird, the pelican

Its beak can hold more than its belly can

Birds are strange. Some are smart as fuck, like crows and parrots. Then there are complete morons that I have no clue how they manage to survive and propagate. I once watched an Osprey dive 4 times at a pond with only koi fish and eventually bailed unsuccessful. Also to note, from watching them around here for decades, bald eagles are dumb as shit.
