Interesting, I have observed one those same pelicans kill and dismember a long necked turtle. Its amazing what at a quick flick with that bill can achieve. The pelicans are captive birds that have been there for a long while and are fed daily by park staff. I will pass your video link on to my contacts at TBB. I work out there as a volunteer from time to time.

Below is a link to the video of Pelicans at Tidbinbilla NR targeting Platypus but avoiding the Musk Duck. It is the same footage I showed at the March COG meeting but I thought people who were not there might be interested.
