Unusual Pelican behaviour (trivial)

[Peter Milburn <>]

John

Lake Burley Griffin Pelicans are kleptoparasitic at barbeques at a number
of sites around the shoreline, on a regular basis.  Many show a strong
dietary preference for steaks and lamb fillets over beefburgers and
sausages.  Perhaps it was one of these individuals looking for an
opportunity to forage elegantly at the Red Hill Restaurant.  By the way,
what was the fish of the day?

[this was not an advertisment since I have no connection with any
establishment which may or may not be attractive to Pelicans in South
Canberra]
