The thing I love the most about GoPros videos is that they really show how much variety is on earth. It's always inspiring to see bits of peoples lives.

it's badass to have a pelican as sidekick

[aroonsarin]

Give a pelican a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. But teach a pelican to fish, attach a go pro, and you've got yourself a live drone!

He's not separated from his flock, he clearly has one with these people. This is amazing!!

[grinchy]

This hit me in the feels for some reason

dang, i would have never thought a pelican could be such a good animal to hang around with.

[ItsMeShanalee]

The way he kisses the pelican and it knows it’s loved 😭🥺🖤 ugh my hearttt

[NatureForce]

Awww he's so cute! It's good that the man is encouraging the pelican to hunt for himself, too!

You have a pet pelican?! That's just badass.

That's why we love animals. no human games. we love them, they love us. total understanding.

It's fascinating to me how two very different species can develop such trust and friendship between them.

His pride upon seeing his adopted pelican catch a fish without help is so heartwarming. This kind of reminds me of the man that taught motherless geese how to fly.

One of the most beautiful things I've seen.

there was a pelican in Florida that has 1 leg and everybody in the town knew him as Stumpy he lost his leg from a fishing line tangle and people saved him sadly he died a few years ago he was very friendly

[fadedP]

give a pelican a fish he’ll eat for a day, teach a pelican how to fish and you’ll need to finally buy a drone mate!

[karolykrausz]

This is really an amazing story and hearth-warming. Having a frickin pelican as a sidekick is just AMAZING!!
