Pelican
Excerpt from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Occasionally, pelicans will consume animals other than fish. In one documented case, a pelican swallowed a live pigeon,[1] and reports of similar incidents have surfaced. In fact, Pelicans are fairly opportunistic predators, and while fish forms the bulk of their diet due to being the most common food source where Pelicans nest, they will quite readily eat any other food that is available to them.[2]
