The pelican mindset is like, “Imma eat that!” They’ll try to devour anything they can fit in their pouch. And also what they cannot.

Once pelicans discern that something is edible, it becomes an open opportunity for them to indulge. These birds possess a keen awareness of their ability to expand their lower beaks in order to accommodate their catch, and they frequently strive to test their limits, so to speak.

On normal days, they will experiment with more ‘regular’ things, like dogs and cats, as you can see below.
