The Answer to the Pigeon Problem

You may remember the story about the Texarkana festival that was interrupted by the falling bodies of poisoned pigeons. Well, I think I've found an answer to their pigeon problem - pelicans (h/t Drudge):
Families strolling through a London park were left shocked when a pelican picked up and swallowed an unsuspecting pigeon.

The Eastern White pelican struggled with the desperately frantic pigeon in its beak for more than 20 minutes before swallowing it whole.

The moment was caught on camera by photographer Cathal McNaughton, who was taking pictures of the wildlife in St James's Park.
The pigeon was still alive when it reached the pelican's stomach, he said.
If other pelicans get the word, this could really perk up the entertainment in the park.
