A pelican yawning is... weird.

This is my photo of a pelican yawning.



Yeah.

I found a video online of a pelican doing this. Apparently, this is a thing.

"Yawns that force the birds’ lower, soft-tissue beak over their neck."

Nature is weird.

 🤣 It seems oddly funny to me like a mock. lol
Sorry, but I have a weird sarcastic sense of humour. lol

Loads of animals yawn, often an aggressive warning not 'cos they're tired.

Some penguins yawn during sex. I'll leave the video search up to you. Also king penguins yawn and hyperventilate, then fall over. I've seen this and it's very funny.
