POOR WEE PIGEON

[ALF]

SEEN THIS IN TODAYS METRO PAPER :o :o

 

it's a dog eat dog world, or in this case bird eats bird.

 

Maybe London Mayor Ken Livingstone has found a new weapon in his war on pigeons.

 

People strolling through London's St James's Park were left shocked when a pelican picked up an unsuspecting pigeon, and swallowed it.

 

The Eastern White pelican struggled with the desperately frantic 'flying rat'in its beak for more than 20 minutes before swallowing it whole.

 

Photographer Cathal McNaughton, who was taking pictures of the wildlife in St James's Park, witnessed the brutal attack.

 

He said: 'The pelican was on the towpath preening itself, and there were a lot of tourists watching it.

 

'Then the bird got up and strolled along until it reached one of the pigeons, which it just grabbed in its beak.

 

'There was a bit of a struggle for about 20 minutes, with all these people watching.

 

'The pelican only opened its mouth a couple of times.

 

'Then it managed to get the pigeon to go head first down its throat. It was kicking and flapping the whole way down.'

 

The pigeon was definitely alive when it reached the pelican's stomach, Mr McNaughton added.

 

A spokeswoman for the RSPB said the incident was very unusual.

 

She said: "It is almost unheard of for a pelican to eat a bird. Their diet should be strictly fish." There are currently five pelicans living near Duck Island in St James's Park - four Eastern Whites and one Louisiana Brown.

 

Pelicans were introduced into the park during King Charles II's reign as a gift from the Russian ambassador.
