Oct. 17 (UPI) -- A surprised customer at an Australian restaurant recorded video of a pelican casually wandering into the eatery and patiently getting in line.

Jack Simpson captured video at the Cargo's Wharf Restaurant in Kiama, New South Wales, when a pelican walked in through the door and joined the crowd in line.

The pelican got out of line after a few moments and wandered around the shop, with a crowd of onlookers following.

The bird was eventually escorted out of the eatery without incident.

Looks like it could smell the fish. I would bet it was not the first time he went in there and someone from in the back gave him a raw fillet. He knew where it was. I was reminded of this oldie but a goodie of the seagull stealing the chips bag from the storehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kqy9hxhUxK0

A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican,
He can take in his beak,
Enough food for a week.
But I’m damned if I see how the helican!

Yeah, and this one already had a large bill.
