SMAP - Smart Pelicans

Hey, @nelinoeva.
I promised to show you smart circus pelicans. The time has come for that.
So, I was with my granddaughter and my wife at the circus. A pelican appeared on stage in one of the rooms. I didn't expect anything special from this. But suddenly, an exclamation went through the ranks, and with some sixth sense, I realized that something was happening behind my back. I turned around and saw another pelican descending onto the stage from the upper rows of the auditorium, spreading its huge wings!

The girl showed simple exercises with the new pelican, and the first pelican sat in one place and waved its wings to stay on the tube. He's so big and it was hard for him to stay on the perch. He's not a chicken.

The area on which the pelican stands is quite convenient for the bird. Then why was he flapping his wings? Maybe it was the trainer's idea.

I think it's hard for a girl to carry such a large bird on her arm. It is clear that she flaps her wings and this reduces the load on the trainer's arm, but still the mass is large.

There are 3 pelicans on the stage. The third bird also descended from above. All the tricks were based on the bird's natural ability to grab fish on the fly in its big beak with a bag. What else can they do? Sitting quietly in one place is already a great achievement.
The birds look bigger than their handler. But the girl skillfully coped with them and the birds obeyed her.
