Yesterday I saw two pelicans passing by in the water. This is just after 4 am and of course it’s always nice to see. I got to wondering this morning, possibly due to the person yesterday not cycling into work but staying warm in bed for a while longer, do animals not feel the cold the way we do ? If I was a Pelican I would stay in bed with the cycling ( non cycling ? ) person.
I realise that they have feathers ( the pelicans ) but still, surely it’s a bit chilly for them. Also I was tempted to put up my hood this morning but I didn’t want to look like a meth head so I’m standing here awaiting the ferry with a cold head instead. Damn.
They feel the cold, they just tough it out to get the job done. They’re pelicans, not pelicants.
If they were wearing hoodies with the hood up they’d be pelicunts.
OMG !!!
Well I didn’t wear my hood up today so there’s that. Plus I left it at work ( the whole garment not just the hood ) so I won’t be tempted in the morning.
I imagine part of it is the same thing that makes Brisbaners find 18 °C cold, and poms find 26 °C hot.
