A departure from pelicans & pigeons

[Martin Butterfield <>]

I agree with your conclusion that the pelican/chihuahua situation is an urban myth.  I think I have heard version of that story from most coastal communities from Coolangatta  to Brisbane (going round the coast clockwise).

I don’t know about the accuracy of the conclusions in the snake/wallaby story but what about the pelican eating a Chihuahua on the esplanade at The Entrance on the Central Coast of NSW.  Surely an urban myth.

Some 20 years ago I watched a news item about a huge python found dead beside a North Queensland road. The snake had a large bulge in its belly which a post mortem revealed to be a small wallaby. Informed opinion speculated the wallaby was alive and kicking (emphasis on kicking) after being swallowed and all the internal turbulence brought about the python’s demise. Talk about a kick in the guts.
