Nuisance pelican---or yet another weirder wilder animal sighting (by Duncan)

God certainly had a sense of humour when he designed the pelican! This afternoon when we were eating tyropita (pork gyro with french fries and tomatoes and garlic sauce) for lunch on a bench in the waterfront park, we noticed a bustling in the nearby jungle gym...and lo and behold a pelican the size of Nina was harassing the children for their lunch!!!! The kindly unemployed mumbling village "keeper" took it upon himself to briskly escort the pelican out of the square by going through the restaurants that lined the park. It was quite a sight, as man and beast were nearly equal in size, seemed to have similar fluffy forward hairdos, and mimicked each other in their gait!!!

  3. Ive seen a similar story about an old pelican that hangs around for hand outs and is known around town for his crusty attitude and stature. He is treated as an elder and people feed him as he expects. The other older men rough him up and give him nuggies to pall around with him
