As I showed you with my flip-phone, they're in no danger of my taking their picture! Thanks for the heads-up, though. I would have been alarmed if I had seen someone going out to the cleaning station with a military-styled weapon! Now I know it'll just be "Thump-A-Pelican Day".

why can’t they shoot paint balls at the sharks?

looks like they are plunking the pelicans with pelican colored paintballs.
btw, respect the alliteration there.

I wonder if they read the bird hazing manual?

Carl,
This practice has been witnessed by several of the pier regulars whom I know and trust that dont like the pests either. But thought the practice was cruel.
Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
