Pelicans
Also cormorants and terns (tiny seagulls)
I fish on bridges and piers in FL and fucking tourists think they're so fucking in-tune with nature when they feed birds, which is illegal here. Then the pelicans eat attack every fish I bring up and get hooked. And then the same fucking midwestern hippies get mad at me when I casually grab the things by their beaks to unhook them
>"This is sooooo sad. Isn't there some sort of special hook you can use that won't catch birds?"
I'm not really that mad about the birds, but I definitely lose my shit when some sunburned tourist takes it upon themselves to act like jane fucking goodall on their week-long vacation.
Also I end up untangling a lot of seagulls that other people hook bc they're always such pussies about it and it's sad when they leave a hook and line in the birds. Two weeks ago some roided-up douchebag hooked a tiny tern and wouldn't touch it until I grabbed it and held it for him
