Wow.

I didn’t even know anyone was raising pelicans.

They probably make good pets.

Maybe they teach them to talk or whistle or something.

Pronunciation tip -
“PEE CAN” is what you put under your bed at night.

A “PEE CON” is something you eat.

Yes people raise pecans. It was one of the nice things about growing up in Carlsbad. As a kid they were everywhere. We didn’t have to go to the store for candy the ground was pretty littered with pecans. I still remember being shown how to open them up when I was four or five.
