Pelican vs. Pigeon

[racingpigeons98]

how does this involve global warming?

Another reason to scare the human

[AbibAhkbar]

DEFINITELY GLOBAL WARMING...the fish get warm so the pelican's don't eat them because they are too warm while the pigeon is nice and cool and won't burn the Pelicans' mouths

[xxSanadaxx]

@AbibAhkbar

I hope you're joking, haha.

[AbibAhkbar]

@xxSanadaxx of course I am haha.

[watchmyshoes22]

These so called experts obviously haven't been on youtube...

[donaldmaull]

what is up with these sick mean spirited videos?

[balmainguy]

@donaldmaull its not sick or mean spirited, its nature. And its good for people to be reminded of the food chain and the natural world order.

[donaldmaull]

@balmainguy I believe it is sick to invite people to be entertained by the suffering of a pigeon, I don't see how its necessary for people to be reminded of the food chain and natural order, the natural order is not some kind of ultimate good in the world, its something we change for the benefit of mankind everyday, not always in the correct way but it is possible to go against what you would call the natural world order perfectly rightfully, with farming and sustainable technologies

[balmainguy]

@donaldmaull It is necessary to remind people of the food chain / natural world order. Its important to appreciate the intricacy and the interconnectedness of every species within it. No species should be taken for granted, no species should be considered expendable. From the emergence of the first single cell organism, to the apex predators of the modern world - all have their place. To argue that predation is somehow wrong, is to deny the role of evolution. What else should a Pelican eat?

[donaldmaull]

@balmainguy I don't believe in the sanctity of evolutiion, i don't believe that there is something profound about the food chain but that is not what i was arguing against, what i was arguing against was people being entertained by the suffocation of a pigeon and it being digested alive, whether or not this is part of evolution, which i dont believe in, is immaterial

[balmainguy]

@donaldmaull Most people laugh because they are surprised, thinking pelicans only eat fish. But ts better to look life in the face and recognize it for what it is. Few animals live to old age and die peacefully in the wild, so the death of one pigeon in a natural setting is immaterial. You can easily avoid watching videos like this, if it bothers you. Not meant to be rude, but I think your simplistic view of nature is more objectionable that someone laughing at this.

[donaldmaull]

@balmainguy I dont think that the ideal philosophy to live for is to "look life in the face and recognise what it is," i think this would be an easy thing for us to say seeing as we werent the ones being suffocated and eaten alive, your paradigm that life is just a bunch of valueless odjects and events where stuff gets killed and a pigeon doesn't matter is extremley clinical, i believe that a pigeon getting killed in an awful way is not something for our entertainment.

[balmainguy]

@donaldmaull ok.

[Timbrock1000]

LOL, maybe the pelican was bored with his lifelong diet of fish and thought "Hmm, I wonder what pigeon tastes like?" ...GULP! "Hmmm, that was tasty. A bit dry, but tasty. Hey, I think I'm onto something here! Pigeon, the OTHER white meat".

[debz12180]

global warming has nothing to do with this, it is the upset of the ecosystem idiots!!!! and mal-adaptation of the birds wild life into more tamed environment,

[isidorachka]

one rat less, milions to go

[MikeHuntagape]

they don't call it global warming anymore, get with the times. they only call it that in summer ! :)

[Phillipjones18]

oh yeah

please explain to me how global warming is making a pelican eat a bird

[debz12180]

global warming has nothig to do with this moron!! it is the ecosystem forever changing with environment and mal-adaptive behavior i the birds, he more likely thought it was a fish, who the hell knows? hes just using his instincts, he most likely was hungy and said hmmm. maybe sushi?? ill sample it hahaaa

[rookie66]

O_O

[MrBiggles5]

OM NOM NOM

[schnauzeborne]

Some pelicans will do anything to get high.

[tcsonline]

Global warming, my ass

[ZMBravoZM]

Well, he may not be far off, Global Warming has to do with this...

[g00dic3cream]

go home. global warming has absolutely nothing to do with this. gecko1986's comment sounds smarter than what you just said...

[gecko1986]

well, maybe it was hungry!

don't blame the pelican

[jasperduf]

yup dat pelican really is a Britt.

[Decklocation]

Americans are the ones with the obesity stereotype, I bet if the floor was edible then americans would eat their country in less than a month.

Racial joke aside, how would a pelican eating a pidgeon make it aparent that it is a "Britt" as you say?

[jasperduf]

common sense says a Pelican lives in London park neither belong to United States nor to any other nation.period.

[inachu]

It may shock you as the cause of getting fat in USA and although healthy eating habits is a part of it.... it is also these new chemicals in our foods that are helping us stay fat. That chemical is TRANS FATS

[bobje999]

psycho pelican 0.0

[logistix1111]

insane in the membrane

[critterkiller105]

how the fuck is global warming doing this dum ass

[alamont69]

How in any way is this related to global warming? global warming dose not affect the fish it eats. this pelican was just a psyco.

[jclssbbface]

well you always have to try something new :D

[BenjaminBattington]

"Another way global warming is hurting the enviorment "

... I hope that's a joke.

[dabadeedabadie001]

its unheardof for a pelican to eat anything other than fish? then shoot this retard before he developes a new taste for his kids

[Jarek4]

hahaha, nice video information

[greatsea]

What? That's just not true what he said about "It's almost unheard of for Pelicans to eat anything other than fish." He needs to get his facts straight.

[wriddler]

its is though because they mostly eat fish plus he never said that pelicans only eat fish he said it was almost unheard of.

[XFatalFeline]

Bert must be so cut.

[kernalSmack]

hey, hey, hey. respect global warming. look at the bright side, credit crunch, no money for holidays, so holidays come to us we got these birds. end off thank god for global warming.

[wildacex187]

this is caused because the melting of the polar ice caps are disrupting the birds psyche....:)

[b2money4379]

how the fuck is this caused by "global warming"?

[tocky78]

if by "disgusting" he means "hilarious"..then yes.

[socialtalker1]

i think the pelicans were brought into the area by dumb humans of the london park service or something.

[PieOfTheNight]

Lol i hate birds..i dk why...but....this vid...MADE ME LOVE PELICANS

WOOHOO GO PELICAN EAT THOSE BEADY EYED SORRY EXXCUSES FOR BIRDS :D

[xXmilkieXx]

I love that pelican.

[knightsshlong]

Thats a cool way to Eliminate the Competition.

Well done Mr. Pelican.

[rugbytriboi]

[KikyouDefendor]

[skrillin]

Owned. Period.

[sheldon550]

hahahahahaha

[sheldon550]

hahahahahaha

[obscenery]

Global Warming? That's an explanation to this event I'd love to hear properly reasoned with evidence.

PorStaker- do you have a blog where you've explained this theory of yours?

[clsteele]

to the auther of this.. how is this anything to do with the environment? its just a rather wierd pelican eating a pigeon.. end of

[elvorette]

Lol @ kittenkiller

[Ache1Killah]

"wow..thats rather digusting" LOL. the way the guy said it crakes me up

[genaromalditoloco]

[frankenhooter]

[sandinyourshoes]

It's a fight for survival... Won't the pelican get indigestion? Just kidding.

[vussj]

pwnt

[WcHDICE]

WOOOOW! I never seen a pelican ate a pigeon Befor

[DerailProductions]

environment

[Skycaptain2193]

tasty,.............

[KittenKiller]

Pelican - 1

Pigeon - 0

[dieromantic69]

It's unheard of but I've seen like three other videos of other pelicans devouring pigeons...

[pnoyako]

Why is this isolated only in one small place? Why isn't this being widely documented all around the world? The answer is that it could have been just the lack of fish in St. James park, or other smaller reasons other than global warming.

[pnoyako]

Even researchers and newscasters themselves who try to stretch farfetched stories didn't say this was because of global warming. Its not entirely an isolated case. It has been seen before that pelicans ate animals other than fish. Truth is that comment is just an over extended truth to what really happened.

[pnoyako]

I know the environment is a very complicated thing- and prune4tracy that was sarcasm that's why I mispelled several words in my response. Dumbass.

Yes Climate change can have a large effect on such a small scale environment- but completely saying that this was caused by global warming is such an idiotic thing to say.

[Regnierofhexter]

Pelicans normally eat fish but if they are starving they will eat any thing, also rats and small birds etc.

[prune4tracy]

that pigeon got pwned!

[prune4tracy]

it might be because the climate change has either killed off or driven away the fish that the pelicans normally prey on, so they resort to eating pigeons. notice that if you look up 'pelican eating pigeon' and notice that there are several different videos, all from st. james park. i don't know for sure if they're connected but it's entirely possible; the environment is a very complicated thing and one small change can affect a lot. or we can call the poster a tree huggin' hippie.

[LeguleiusGonzo]

Or you can realize its probably the same Pelican and its just got a taste for the little winged rats now.

[prune4tracy]

hahaha, yeah that makes more sense

[pnoyako]

wat the hell? how the fuck do u tie in global warming to pelicans eating pigeons? thats like saying global warming is the cause of human cannibalism. dude get ur facts straight. and learn how to spell ENVIRONMENT

[prune4tracy]

then learn how to spell 'what' dumbass. liek omg get ur facts str8!!!!1111oneone

[Quaylan14]

OMFG

[evantehgreat]

"Another way global warming is hurting the environment" - I hope that this statement was sarcastic. Whether it was or not, idiots like to blame everything disasterous and cruel about nature on humans - as if humans aren't part of nature.

[mrtruffle]

WTF?!

[Crymzix]

holy crap
