Pelican mistaken for seagull, fined for beach pollution

A pelican was fined for polluting a beach after being mistaken for a seagull.

The bird was spotted by a council worker at Blyth Beach in Northumberland, England, and was found to be carrying a bag of bread crumbs.

It is thought that the pelican had been fed by tourists, who then left the area, leaving the bird behind.

The council worker noticed the bird was trying to eat the bread crumbs and called the police, who then issued the pelican with a fixed penalty notice.

Dave Swales, from the RSPB, said: "Pelicans are not common in this country and people may not know what they are looking at. "This poor bird has probably been fed by kind-hearted members of the public and is now paying the price."

Council worker Nicki Dornan said: "I knew it wasn't a seagull as soon as I saw it. It's not every day you see a pelican in Blyth."

The RSPB has urged people not to feed wild birds, as it can lead to them becoming reliant on humans for food and can also cause them to become ill.

Pelican caught on video stealing fish from fishermen

In a video that has gone viral on social media, a pelican is caught on camera stealing fish from fishermen.

The video, which was shot in the Indian city of Mumbai, shows the pelican swooping down to take a fish from a fishing net. The pelican then tries to fly away with the fish, but drops it and flies away empty-handed.

Fishermen in Mumbai have long complained about pelicans stealing their fish. In some cases, they have even had to give up fishing altogether because of the high number of pelicans in the area.

Local authorities have tried to address the problem by installing nets around fishing areas, but the pelicans continue to be a nuisance.

There are an estimated 4,000-5,000 pelicans living in Mumbai, and they are known to steal fish from both fishermen and local markets.

Pelicans stranded on beach get help from volunteers

In early December, a group of volunteers in Gulf Shores, Alabama, came to the aid of some pelicans who had become stranded on the beach.

The birds had apparently been blown off course by a storm, and were unable to fly back to the water.

The volunteers managed to push most of the pelicans back into the Gulf, but several of them became trapped in a sandbar.

Fortunately, a local resident came up with a plan to free them. He attached a rope to a truck and pulled the birds free.

The pelicans were then able to return to the Gulf on their own.

For the first time in its history, the small town of Pelican, Maine has elected a mayor from its avian population. The pelican, who goes simply by Pelican, was voted into office last week in a landslide victory over the incumbent tortoise.

One of Pelican's primary goals is to increase tourism in the town. He plans to do this by promoting the area's natural beauty and rich history. "We have so much to offer visitors," he said. "I encourage everyone to come and explore us."

In addition to his focus on tourism, Pelican also plans to promote economic development and better infrastructure in Pelican. He believes that by working together, the town can achieve great things. "I am excited to get started on my term as mayor," he said. "I know that we can make our town even better than it is today."
