Rusty the Pelican must be Pip’s cousin
Good Morning! I’m away from sunrise but wanted to hare a tales from the lagoon featuring Rusty the pelican.
Tales from the lagoon ~ Rusty the Pelican Taste Testing
Rusty was super cute today. He stayed for several hours, hanging out on a pole, then in the water with the dolphins hoping for a fish.
He decided to search for food and taste test all the floating debris in the water. He picked things up, swished them around and spit them out.
He used to hang out with Pip the Pelican, so I think that's where he picked up the twirl. They are the only 2 pelicans I've seen do the twirl.
Pip used to talk by exhaling so I thought I'd see if Rusty could do it too. I exhaled several times showing him what it sounds like. He tried! The only way he could make the sound was to put his head down and exhale.
If you want to hear Pip talk, check out the short video below.
