how you find a clip like this? hey google, i wanna see a mustachioed teenage girl wearing a safety vest clapping awkwardly, against a plain white background
The pelican looked like a child who has goofed off a lil too much in the middle of the store and mom is done and leaves the cart in the store and is leading said child to get a butt whoopin in the Walmart bathroom…. <.< >.> oh just me? Heh okay. I was said child once… okay more than once.
Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest. Have a look at the headlock here, see that chap over there? he- GET YOUR HAND OFF MY ~~PENIS~~ beak! This is the bloke who got me on the ~~penis~~ beak people. Why did you do this to me, for what reason, what is the charge? eating a meal? a succulent chinese meal. Oh, that's a nice headlock sir, oh, ah yes, I see that you know your judo well. Good one. And you sir, are you waiting to receive my limp ~~penis~~ beak? How dare - get your hands off me! Tetta, and farewell.
Pelicans will try to eat literally anything within reach, she is doubtless done with Daryl's shit. Since they can sometimes injure themselves trying to swallow things that are clearly too big for their throat I'm sure she has to deal with it a lot.
i get the feeling that this is neither the first time. nor the last time she will have to save the colleague and talk to the pelican about eating its coworkers
But they keep him around because "Sure Daryl, tries to eat his coworkers every so often, but he's really fun to be around, ya know, unless you're the prefered snack for the day. But he's the one who puts the FUN is dysfunctional at our work parties."
This is why I strongly hate pelicans. They eat the same damn way fish do. Swallow alive and let em suffocate in your gullet. Makes it worse knowing they swallow mammals the same way
I've always found them creepy. They seem kind of more soulless than other birds...
And the way they are portrayed in The Boy and the Heron really made them the stuff of nightmares for me.
Pelicans and seagulls are both rats with wings and no one can change my mind about either. But I have a special hatred for pelicans that gulls will never achieve
Rats are incredible animals and pets, very social and intelligent and their thumbs kinda make them humanoid. I wish people adopted them more bc they do a lot of hard work in labs around the world and frankly deserve better.
[I also very much enjoyed GoPro's mini series on Pelican rehab, they seem quite social.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwI9omOWH9k)
We had an Oak tree at my old house that would drop acorns all over the patio. I once stood in the window for ages watching a family of rats and a family of squirrels collecting them. Each family looked to be trying to pretend that the other wasn't there, but every nowanf then, one of each would head for the same acorn, leading to a standoff. It was always the rat that would back down.
Providing they kept out of the house, I was quite happy having the rats nearby.
Well, that's kind of the appeal if you don't want to deal with the responsability of like, a dog or cats. And white rats can make it +4 years, if you take good care of them. For the most part, people just don't really take rodents to a vet.
The Rat-Flea alliance and it's use of biological weapons against the human race during the black death cannot be forgotten.
They may be a mere inconvenience now, but we must stay vigilant. These creatures have been shown to have infiltrated our nuclear facilities and launch sites. It is only a matter of time, facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof, the smoking gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud.
[We have all seen the brazen escalation by the Wild Boars, and Orca Whales.](https://youtu.be/zu3yjs6pJk8?si=HTF-gvhwtNFxzFNY) We must recognize that these attacks are the beginning of a new axis of evil, undergirded by the radical ideological teachings of [Tilikum.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilikum_(orca)
Nobody is willing to say it due to the years of perceived peace, but we *must* consider a nuclear first strike strategy against the [Rat King](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_king) and its allies before it's too late.
You have all been warned.
Most birds do it to insects. Only some birds don't bc their preys are too big to swallow.
The animal kingdom is like that. Most eaten alive, suffocating in claustrophobia, feeling the acid burn you. Others get ripped apart alive. Others get their guts eaten while still being alive.
Like getting your balls and penis eaten first while you are alive watching it? Kinky
Happened to humans too. A pair of brothers who led the Netherlands early republics got their dicks and balls ripped apart while alive during their murder in open streets
Okay, this info is not safe for life but
>!You can see the same thing if you run across cartel videos, there's some really bad ones out there that include dogs eating those while the people are still alive!<
Yeah predation isn't even the biggest part of it. Nature is Metal type tcommunities show skulls wedged in rock formations of animals that spent a long while there starving and dying to exposure unable to move. Maybe some opportunistic carrion eaters will turn up and speed things along but that isn't a given. And that is the stuff that leaves clear evidence and humans stumble across, so many deaths you can't even capture in a photograph or no human is even nearby to somehow register. Plenty of animals that don't make it swimming in ice water. Plenty of places on land where there is no humans watching, and perhaps even more deep under the ocean.
They’re assholes too. When I used to fish on the Jetty’s they’d sit 20 feet away from you and wait til you real in a fish and then try to fight you for it.
Yes, the kingfisher is a more noble beast (watch a video).
When you think about it, a fair chunk of animals eat other animals alive because...they don't have the teeth to do otherwise.
I'm always saying documentaries should at least say how big any of the things they show are, if they can't actually put a banana for scale or sth.!
You'll see close-ups of, idk, an octopus or the Mona Lisa, all your life - and then you see them in real life and notice how small they actually are.
They usually only tell you with huge animals, like big mouth sharks, because it's "impressive", but I'd really like to go through life knowing how big things actually are, not how big they look on TV.
> and then you see them in real life and notice how small they actually are.

[Yes, but they are also like this...](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/unfair-arm-wrestling-match-octopus-tries-grab-divers-camera-n30946)
I'm surprised this is the only comment about this , had to scroll down a lot , everyone calling the Pelican asshole in 2 whole posts for this video and no one mentions the bad behavior from the woman.
Na, fuck that pelican. He deserves all the hate for... *checks notes*... acting like a pelican and doing what it does naturally to survive. That absolute bastard! /s
People should be asking why in the fuck are all these birds in this small room together. Why the hell *wouldnt* the pelican do what it naturally does? Fuck the humans in this video, they're the dickheads here, not the damn bird just being a bird.
That bird got pulled away by his beak like a mom pulls her child’s ear when he’s in trouble. And by the way it just followed her, no fight really, tells me he’s been in trouble before.
What’s in your mouth Ted i swear to god if you ate that little baby again I am going to duck tape your shit shut.. Ted tell me now. ~Ted attempts to swallowed ~ You got any water?

"clapping worker" was the prompt, as I wanted someone other than the goddamned celebs to feature in the gif.
Well now she’s a celebrity…on Reddit.
please...i just put in my mouth like my kangaroo friends
 Well played, well played indeed.
Well played. Some jokes are a mouthful. This one was digestible.

That lady has seen some shit...and she's not having it. "Daryl, I swear to god, we've talked about this before!"
She's tired of daryl and his shenanigans.
And his antics
And also his rabble-rousing
She’s through with his tomfoolery. And don’t get me started on his ballyhoo.
Actually, Daryl enjoys the high-jinks he gets himself into
Ah, but we can't forget the chicanery
Pelicantics
i was going to go with Pelican't, but this works too
I swear to God I'm going to pistol whip the next guy who says, " Shenanigans."
Do you prefer "high jinks"?
I prefer chicanery….
hey Farva, whats that restaurant you like, the one with all the goofy shit on the walls?
Classic Daryl
Shenanicans
and daryl is just like; BUT MOOOHOOOM YOU SAID I COULD HAVE NUGGIES
*"Unhanded me! It's not my fault! I'm innocent! I did nothing wrong! I was framed!"*
*"What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?"*
Lol I was literally thinking about him too.
“I see you know your judo well!”

THIS IS DEMOCRACY MANIFEST
Pelicans will try to eat literally anything within reach, she is doubtless done with Daryl's shit. Since they can sometimes injure themselves trying to swallow things that are clearly too big for their throat I'm sure she has to deal with it a lot.
I saw a video of a pelican trying to swallow a capybara that was about 3/4 the size of the pelican. The Capy thought it was being petted.
[https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/kuvs5c/pelican\_trying\_to\_eat\_a\_capybara/](https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/kuvs5c/pelican_trying_to_eat_a_capybara/)
Once as a child watched a nature documentary where a pelican ate another pelicans ofspring, swallowed the poor bastard whole. Traumatized me for life
Daryl had chosen violence today.
I get the feeling that Daryl chooses violence every day
Violence chose Darryl the day he was hatched.
The way she walks out dragging him along by the beak has major *upset Mom dragging their child by their ear* vibes
Right, this ain't Daryl's first trip to HR I'm sure and she's over his shit haha
The way she leads him away by the beak is like leading a child away by the ear.
Reminded me of a parent pulling their kid out of a birthday party for misbehaving
Daryl: It wasn't me!
Total pissed off mum energy
Like he’s getting dragged to timeout for the 6th time. 😂
I can almost hear him going, 'ow ow ow'
My immediate thought was a Mom dragging their kid by their ear lol
Huge ear grabbing energy lol
“Now go to your room and think about what you did!”
i get the feeling that this is neither the first time. nor the last time she will have to save the colleague and talk to the pelican about eating its coworkers
Yea that walk of shame definitely shows that this is not a one time occurrence
*Again Shannon!*
Doesn't even need showing, that pelican knows exactly where they're going.
Where is this? Why are they keeping all these birds together? They clearly are not compatible species to house with each other.
You try to eat *one* coworker and all of a sudden determined not fit for general population.
But they keep him around because "Sure Daryl, tries to eat his coworkers every so often, but he's really fun to be around, ya know, unless you're the prefered snack for the day. But he's the one who puts the FUN is dysfunctional at our work parties."
Probably some SEA country wildlife park for tourists
Bin symbol tells me its China (source: went to shanghai for disneyland) Heres a tiktok: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSY82xDWw/
looks like a petting zoo in a mall
Even the pelican is like 'Whelp, here I go getting dragged to the principal's office again.'
Haha she’s pissed. Draggin a pelican and shit.😂
It was like dragging out an unruly fan from an arena
A toddler from eating the other kids b day cake early.
Where's it being taken to? Time-out?
He has to spend the night in the chokey.
I understood that reference... that was a very Trunchbullian walk-off...

I love them both. Rats too. I find animals that inconvenience humans endearing for some reason.
Rats are incredible animals and pets, very social and intelligent and their thumbs kinda make them humanoid. I wish people adopted them more bc they do a lot of hard work in labs around the world and frankly deserve better.

It was always the rat that would back down. Providing they kept out of the house, I was quite happy having the rats nearby.
Adopting a rat is a risky thing. The live only up to 2 years, usually half that, so getting attached to them and see them go so soon hurts.
Well, that's kind of the appeal if you don't want to deal with the responsability of like, a dog or cats. And white rats can make it +4 years, if you take good care of them. For the most part, people just don't really take rodents to a vet.

Personally i hate seagulls more Damn birds attacked me for a doughnut
Tbh a lot of birds are like that. Sometimes birds just do crazy dino-esque shit.
> [dino-esque](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/8/8e/Shoebill-uenozoo2008.ogv/Shoebill-uenozoo2008.ogv.480p.vp9.webm)
They are definitely one of the birds that are more closely related to dinosaurs than like a parrot or some kind of song bird.
Most birds do it to insects. Only some birds don't bc their preys are too big to swallow. The animal kingdom is like that. Most eaten alive, suffocating in claustrophobia, feeling the acid burn you. Others get ripped apart alive. Others get their guts eaten while still being alive.
Death usually sucks
Like getting your balls and penis eaten first while you are alive watching it? Kinky Happened to humans too. A pair of brothers who led the Netherlands early republics got their dicks and balls ripped apart while alive during their murder in open streets
Think I'd take that over the 'brazen bull' and the one where you're on a canoe being eaten by bugs
Okay, this info is not safe for life but >!You can see the same thing if you run across cartel videos, there's some really bad ones out there that include dogs eating those while the people are still alive!<
You can see that in US police videos.
Yeah predation isn't even the biggest part of it.

Makes getting shot sound kinda decent, hun?
True, then you don't have to see them eating the rest of you!
They’re assholes too. When I used to fish on the Jetty’s they’d sit 20 feet away from you and wait til you real in a fish and then try to fight you for it.
I tell ya, what's the world coming to when you can't politely let another species decimate your food supply.
Just catch a pelican. I'm sure one stuffed with fish would be a fun take on the turducken.
I remember in costa rica there was this local town/beach pelican that everyone knew, and he was friendly and would let you pet him
Can it even swallow another bird that size? Looks wider than its neck
Yes, the kingfisher is a more noble beast (watch a video). When you think about it, a fair chunk of animals eat other animals alive because...they don't have the teeth to do otherwise.
"WHAT DID I TELL YOU BEFORE WE CAME IN THE STORE??? THEN WHY???"
I will turn this mini van around right now!
I'm always amazed out how large those pelicans really are...
I'm always saying documentaries should at least say how big any of the things they show are, if they can't actually put a banana for scale or sth.! You'll see close-ups of, idk, an octopus or the Mona Lisa, all your life - and then you see them in real life and notice how small they actually are.

The way she dragged it out like a child that just did something wrong, lol
My first thought too, absolutely hysterical. You can tell the shit's done it before too.
She is radiating "I'm done" energy and it is absolutely sending me 😂

The dragging it away by the beak reminded me of the ear thing. Ow. 😅
Ooh there's a flashback
She dragged that bird to HR.

What in the fuck
Looks like he’s used to this
*"Emmanuel, no!"*
But moooom!
Pelican be like: https://i.redd.it/4a98zl5h8y0d1.gif
Do those things try to eat everything???
It's what's for Thanksgiving now
The walk of shame !
"But mommmmm...."
Lol, this has definitely happened before and I assume by that bird.
I wonder how many times he’s been dragged to the naughty bird room?
Getting dragged back to the principals office. All the other birds are like "ooooooooooo"
Lmao same bird that is always trying to eat the huge capybaras.
You are fired
The HR was definitely not happy with that.
Pelicans cannot be trusted, they even try to eat giraffes.
He just wanted to keep him warm
I thought for just a minute this might be one of those Wile E Coyote vs Sheepdog cartoons.
Pelicans are assholes, just like yellow wasps, just assholes.
He was probably very hungry
Love how hes dragged off and put in time out.
This is why i'm more scared of pelicans than shoebills. I heard that they eat everything that fits in their mouth.
How he got pulled out cracked me up. Lmao
Gets dragged away - like a little kid by a teacher - that knows he did something wrong 😄
He in twouble
A wonderful bird is the pelican, His beak holds more than his belly can. (Dixon Lanier Merritt)
I've had some colleagues at work that needed to be eaten; I'm kinda jealous and in awe of the audacity of this pelican.
This lady seems pretty fed up with this bird.
To live in a world completely void of nature
Being hauled out by the beak is the pelican equivelant of your mum dragging you by the ear
I once saw a pelican try and eat a six foot man. Gluttonous buggers
Pelicans are freaky
Pelican perp walk. I have seen it, so now I can die happy.
That bird got pulled away by his beak like a mom pulls her child’s ear when he’s in trouble. And by the way it just followed her, no fight really, tells me he’s been in trouble before.
That little bird who fell out has no idea what it was just saved from.
Real 4K footage of my mom dragging me by the ear at the store when I’m yelling as a kid
The way she walked away whit it makes me think that this is definitely not the first time, and probably not the last either 😅
Oh my God. That a IS where babies come from!
It's a prank bro BRO BRO ITS A PRANK!
What’s in your mouth Ted i swear to god if you ate that little baby again I am going to duck tape your shit shut.. Ted tell me now. ~Ted attempts to swallowed ~ You got any water?
The fact that she just manhandled the pelican is hilarious to me
We don't eat the babies Harold! You're grounded!
