Relocated Gulf Pelicans "Enjoying" Texas

[DammitDrag]

Flying garbage cans.

poor birds :-( many of where not so loocky like them....thx NG for sharing this video!!

[WinterHaven]

Send them to CHINA! They will roast them, often alive because they believe torture enhances the flavor of the meat. They do it to cats all the time.

[WinterHaven]

What's the point? THey just fly back to the Gulf (instinct) and get drowned in oil again. Most of them will die later because of the oil slowly poisons them. They would be better off euthanized.

[Calidris0]

@WinterHaven I think this operation is misguided. There were already brown pelicans living on Aransas. Either these introduced pelicans will fail to establish themselves here and will die, or they will displace the native pelicans, and the natives will die, or (more than likely) the introduced pelicans will fly back to Lousianna and get oiled again.

The rescue LOOKS good, but is probably a big waste of time and money.

[WinterHaven]

@Calidris0 It's all about making BP look good so people will buy stocks and everything is honky dory fine. I seen a news article today that BP oil spill is rapidly clearing on its own. Yeah-right-several hundred MILLION gallons of pure crude and tons of dispersant are going to "clear on its own" in a few days. If you believe that can I sell you some good quality swamp land? :-)

[simplyguys]

Good job ;)

[spencerleeb]

"come on pelican!"

[FalkonX3000]

[geostillo78]

I like the two pelicans that just casually swam away like just chillin takin a little dip in the warm Texas water!

[TheKmk173]

Texas FTW

[KrazyRawb]

That's awesome!

[AfkND]

Fly, fly away pelicans be free!

No...wait not over there...no that's oil! Ah crap.

[LYinKansas]

@AfkND damn beat me to it = )

[unorthodoxJ]

If I were one of these birds I'd definitely feel better living in the polluted waters of Louisiana.

Oil might be a scary thing to deal with, but a few angry gun toting Texas rednecks...

[freakyMof]

This is one of the first NG vids I've been able to watch, and I live in Ireland.

[ds12z]

[929fightinIrish]

@mycompasstv what do you mean ?

[canonicus1]

@929fightinIrish NG and many other US broadcasters censor youtube content  from countries and regions. The web is getting less world-wide everyday.

[929fightinIrish]

@canonicus1 hu that sucks

[welcomegohome]

[mb1111111111]

What's the point? The oil (and Corexit) are going to shortly be showing up there too.
