Twenty five minutes per pound dressed at 350*. Tastes a lot like Blue Heron.
Where’s PETA??? Isn’t this the kind of thing they love to do???
I saw some pelicans at Antero reservoir in Colorado last summer.
“....they can’t get the needed federal permits to move him across state lines to a more southern location.”
This tells you all you need to know about the furloughed Federal workers. A Federal Permit is needed move a damned bird?
Is sanity now so out of fashion that you don’t dare just doing the right thing and to heck with all those who are bureaucrats and seek to enslave you to a system that fails all of us, including wildlife.
I hear pelican tastes just like chicken, btw. ;-) Problem solved.
Seriesly, an all controlling master is no master at all.
Reminds me of the Feed the Children commercials. You’d think one of the camera crew would share his lunch with the starving kids, but no — send them money or the kids die!
Replace furloughed government workers with illegals - show the dingbats in DC what it feels like...
Sounds like a pelican’t to me.
Throw the damn thing in the back seat of a car and start driving till you hit warm weather then throw it into the ocean......
Pelicans vs. People. Who wins? Depends on who is ask. My answer is people. What is your answer?
The billionaire's curiosity was piqued, and he sped off the the address in his Maybach, arriving just in time. He was met by the man he had spoken to earlier, who took him inside. There was a large pool, and inside, there was a pair of porpoises casually lazing about. The billionaire asked, "Those look like regular porpoises. Neat, but not all that exotic." The man replied, "Ah...but these porpoises are over a thousand years old! These porpoises will live forever!" The man showed him old black and white photos from the prior owner taken in the 1920's or 30's, showing what certainly appeared to be the same porpoises. The billionaire, dubious though intrigued, figured he had nothing to lose and made arrangements to have a super-aquarium installed at his mansion and purchased the porpoises. On closing the deal, the strange seller told him, These porpoises will live forever as promised, but while they do eat fish and normal porpoise fare, they will only be happy on a steady diet of Mynah birds.
After the aquarium was installed, and the porpoise delivered, the billionaire took to showing off his porpoise to all his friends and relations, and could not have been prouder of his purchase. In a week's time; however, the porpoises became despondent and lethargic. The billionaire made arrangements for some mynah birds to be delivered and sure enough, the porpoises chowed down and returned to their previously happy state. This pattern repeated itself over the coming months and years until the billionaire had exhausted his sources for mynah birds. As the porpoises went into a deep depression the billionaire became obsessed about finding mynah birds and increasingly agitated with each dead end he ran into.
Then one day, while out for a drive, he saw a billboard, "Zippy's Circus Coming to Town. Largest Mynah Bird Display On Earth." The billionaire got on his cell and started making calls until he was connected to Zippy, owner and operator of the circus. He asked how many mynah's Zippy had in his show. "Not sure exactly how many," Zippy said, "I stopped counting at 2,000." The billionaire offered him whatever he wanted for his mynah birds, but Zippy was adamant: No Sale.
The billionaire decided he had no choice, but would need to steal the mynahs. He went to the circus during the day and scoped the layout of the exhibits, carefully noting where the mynah exhibit was located. That night he crept back into the tent only to realize that Zippy put the mynah bird cage inside the lion cage at night. Luckily, the lions appeared to be fast asleep so the billionaire carefully broke into the cage, tip-toed past the sleeping lions to the mynah cage. He picked the lock on the mynah cage, and stuffed 30 of the birds into a sack assuming Zippy would not notice the disappearance of so few. He re-locked the mynah cages, and very gingerly made his way back across the lions.
Upon exiting the tent, however, he was greeted by the lights of a police car and ordered to set the sack on the ground and place his hands in the air. The billionaire was searched, cuffed and placed in the cruiser. He was transported back to the police station where he was officially charged with transporting mynahs across sedated lions for immortal porpoises.
But as temperatures dropped, the bird was taken from the area by the Department of Environmental Management to a wildlife sanctuary.
Now Bert may be stuck.

Yes. The bird is “stuck” in a wildlife sanctuary where he’ll be housed and fed. Basically a bird resort.
Oh wow, thanks for that. The comments are gold!
Fish eating fowl is pretty gamey
And pelicans eat all animals they can including other birds
Inspiration for a book where a penguin comes to rescue him using an iceberg, but global warming kills them both.
While millions of illegals roam
Attention President Trump:
Issue an EO designating illegal alien border crossers as Pelicans.
Brown pelican lives matter!!!
What I would like to know did the Pelican have Federal “papers” authorizing him to land in Rhode Island in the first place?
