Spending time with feathered friends

January 17, 2022

Hello Lovely readers!

It's is Monday again and I hope that you are all doing good and enjoying your Monday. It's the third week of the month and the cases here in my country keep on growing. I just hope that after this third week cases will start to subside as it means more people are done with their fourteen-day quarantine and it means that they are healed too. So, please please make sure to take care of yourself and do take your vitamins. The weather is still crazy so all we can do is boost ourselves as not to get sick.

Anyway, I was browsing my Facebook photos when I saw this album from my trip to Sydney way back in 2014. The only photos that I have are the ones on my Facebook since my phone went kaput last week and I wasn't able to save any photos from it. I'll check if it still can be fixed and hopefully be able to save my photos from there.

Back to browsing my photos, let me share with you one of my adventures in Sydney, one that I can never forget and that gave me so much joy.

It's the Pelican Feeding at the Entrance at the Central Coast of New South Wales.

Meeting these feathered friends is one of the things that I did when I was there. Didn't think these feathered friends called Pelicans would be so friendly. When I and my friends arrived in the area they are all in the water and minding their own business but when the guy in charge called them using the whistle they all fly to him and waited for his next signal.

The man in charge waited for them to settle before he blew his whistle again. And this time whistle tune is different from the one when they called them. The man shows all the viewers how the pelicans follow his order like when he raised his hands their beaks are all facing up.

Can you see how behaved they are? They just stayed that way while waiting to be fed. The man is feeding them with small fish.

The Pelican feeding is so entertaining to watch. Whenever the man moves his hand their beak follows it. And when the man throws in a fish one will just raise his beak higher than the others until one catches it.

See the beak of each Pelican they open their beak when the fish will land near them and they just wait for the man to throw it again. The viewers also have their chance to feed them but not all wanted to try it.

After the feeding, the Pelicans mingle with humans, they roam around the area as if it's just a natural thing to do for them. The viewers are given some pellets that they can give to these amazing birds. Some like the idea but some are afraid to get near the Pelicans. Wondering if I fed them? Yes, but I didn't get near them, who wouldn't get scared of that beak? LOL

They are also selling miniature stuffed Pelicans that you can bring home with you as their souvenirs.

Meeting these wonderful and amazing feathered friends was such an experienced and I would do it again if I'll have another chance. Being with them can give you so much joy and can make you feel how wonderful nature is. Imagine seeing these big birds acting like domestic animals was such a great experience. It doesn't happen every day unless you live there. lol

And if you are still reading this... Thank you so much.
