I have seen some pelicans with as many as 10 leg bands. The would be sure to collect them and wear them

 

[capt stan]

Look on his left leg(as you look at picture)..This one landed on my boat a few years ago..BANDED...

Are Pelicans good to eat?

 

[billy336]

Pelicans often get banded when they are released from rehab. As you can see, the bird above has a jacked up foot.

Bout the same as whooping cranes. Served with a side of fried sea turtle and gopher tortoise stew

 

[Kdad]

Manatee soup is good too

There are only about 600 of these birds alive in the U.S. today. Talk about more fuel for the antis. The more i read about this kid, the worse it gets......

I heard whooping cranes taste kind of like a cross between a bald eagle and an osprey

Found this poor guy on Butler last year during snipe season. However, he didn't appear to have been shot, kind of strange.

Happy now?

The Boy might have thought they were Sandhill cranes which are hunted some places, Too much judgement on here, Would you pose with a bunch of illegal birds for a pic if you knew they were illegal
