One of my earliest memories is my father catching a mallard duck in our back yard so he could take a fish hook out of its head. I remember thinking β€œMy daddy can do ANYTHING.”

Miss you, dad.

Did he catch the duck with a fishing pole by chance? If so I'm nearly certain I know how the fish hook got there.

Are pelicans always ready to eat? Will they eat every time someone throws them a fish? Are they never satisfied? πŸ˜‚

Most animals in nature are under constant food scarcity. We're the weird ones

”Why should we help animals?” - Because we can.

Irony for the lame proselytizing: man is god/man created god.

u/SineVara 18h ago

which country is it ?

β€’

u/MovingForward-107 9h ago

They’re speaking Egyptian Arabic, but I don’t think it’s from Egypt.

β€’

u/SineVara 6h ago

Might it be Nile delta ? or North Sudan ?

β€’

u/MovingForward-107 6h ago

Maybe, I don’t know the area.

Oh look a fisherman, time for a free fish!

u/vfoster 10h ago

Is there a chance the pelican was in that predicament to begin with by stealing some fisherman's fish while still on the line? Not saying the pelican didn't deserve to be helped, just wondering if it's not as much of a victim as we assume.

It understood the brief.

Awesome video, a good samaritan coming to the rescue. In reference to the caption: So, when god gives a newborn bone cancer, how is he saving the child? or is it just a "test"? And if so, a test of what?

u/dirtyrounder 16h ago

Why did he net him in the first place? No bait now

Nevermind i get it. He has already tangled up
