Peter Pelican and his friend Perry Pigeon

Peter Pelican is a jolly, affable bird and a favorite tourist attraction at London's St James's Park. He's friendly to all the visitors and all the other animals in the park. And, he's especially good chums with his friend Perry Pigeon. Why, they're such good friends that, as shown in the picture above, he lets Peter sit in his beak.

VITAL UPDATE: It appears that I only looked at the picture and didn't read the text. That bastard pelican is eating Perry Pigeon. Not only that, but we're informed that it took 20 minutes to devour poor Perry, and that he was still alive when he reached Peter's stomach.
