Three bombed by same bird at Maho...must have been a Top Gun

Post by Bill in Va »

This just in.. The answer to a long standing questions was delivered to three in our group as we sat watching the pelicans at Maho the other day. Yes they dump while flying. Yes it is warm and yes it is green......God bless....Bill

Let's be really honest here - I for one would much rather have that fall on me than the snow that fell on me yesterday. There is even a really nice place to jump into in order to wash it off :)

Got hit there myself last Sunday. Wasn't a pelican because this guy had been eating some purple berries. Took me 2 seconds to hit the water :D

I get hit every single summer by the seagulls on the NJ shore. I swear they're out to get me.

At least they're not as bad as pelicans.

Someone told me it's good luck to be "hit on" by a bird :D :D

I've hear it's good luck too! Esp a pelican at Maho- has to be a really really good omen :wink: :wink:

We put bread on my Dad's head (unbeknownst to him) years ago on the Mall in DC- a pigeon landed on his head and did his business. I'll take the pelican any day! Like Muhaha said- nice place to clean off!
