[@robertdedrick7937]

Next time in KW go to LATITUDES restaurant ! It's on sunset key, the little island right infont Mallory Square in KW. Voted the most romantic restaurant in America. A 5m ferry leave every 15m at the dock/hotel by Mallory sq ..

[@robertdedrick7937]

It's a hidden gem ! My wife and I eat there every time we go to KW . Best sunset view ! Must book reservations two months out especially to catch the sunset ... Cheers and happy travels.

Haha, the pelicans! I’m so glad y’all went to Robbie’s and Bahia Honda! love watching your videos of the state in which I live 😁 thanks for sharing your Florida videos!!

[@The_Crucible714]

I remember the signs in Bahia Honda saying “No Molestar Conch!” (don’t molest the conch!) There were also quite a few highly venomous Man-o’War jellyfish beached on the shore. Even tiny bits of tentacles broken apart in the surf can sting.

You have to watch sand bars and the tides.

[@shelnsville]

Can’t stress this enough.

[@The_Crucible714]

If you are ever caught in a rip tide you must swim parallel to the shore until you’re out of it. Fighting against a rip tide is no use, it will only wear you out.

[@pennysilvey8868]

Pelicans aren’t vicious, they’re hungry! 😉 as always, I enjoy watching your videos.

[@janetgeesen1216]

I highly recommend checking out St Augustine FL if you haven't already been here! Oldest continuously inhabited town in the continental US (founded 1565) with beautiful architecture, great food, and friendly people. To me, it feels like a mix of Old San Juan (Puerto Rico) and Key West with a sprinkle of New Orleans.

[@Supremewin777]

It is somewhat Colonial looking with a little bit of a Caribbean feel

When I was a kid back in the 60’s we visited what is now called The Dolphin Research Center in Grassy Key. I was standing near a pelican so my mom could take a picture. I wasn’t feeding it or bothering it apart from taking at it. Mom took the photo and as I turned around to walk away, it bit me in the ass! While it didn’t break the skin, it really hurt and left a huge bruise. I was six at the time and I’ll never forget it… Damn bird!

Hey, there, Neosporin is an antibiotic cream you can put on it if you want, and they make a generic version,Triple Antibiotic Ointment with pain reliever. It is sold at Walgreens, Walmart, grocery stores, etc.

[@lilyz2156]

no, dr's hate neosporin. Just wash cut, petroleum jelly and cover with bandage.

You need to put some antibiotic cream on that. Buy it at any drugstore.

Look vids on pelicans eating all kinds of stuff like kittens. They're mean critters.

[@The_Crucible714]

There’s a video of a pelican eating a turtle who bit his way out of the bird’s pouch, making a big hole! Luckily for him the park rangers found him and brought him to an animal rehabber who stitched him up. That sometimes happens and the birds can’t eat (everything they catch falls out the hole.) If it’s too big to heal itself the bird can just waste away and die of starvation. Pelicans aren’t the smartest birds. 🤪

Be careful on sandbars. Sharks will often swim near them while cruising for food, i.e. smaller fish.

[@jawesomes6939]

Even the benign wild life in Florida will try to take you out 😅

Well, I hope you're OK there buddy! I've never had an experience with pelicans before but I reckon if I did try to feed them, I'd probably wear thick gloves!

Hey, a little blood from a Pelican bite on your finger will provide chum to draw in sharks! Just kidding. the animals are wild, and they are almost always hungry! Thanks, Shaun. The wildlife interactions were entertaining, and I am glad you got nothing more than a slight finger injury.

[@bkm2797]

Sorry you got accidentally bitten, if I'm remembering correctly, Pelicans have one small sharp growth on their bill to help catch fish on the fly, hope it didn't cause you too much trouble. Doesn't seem fair you aren't allowed to give them a fish, but you can feed the Tarpin,lol. Hope you have a great time in Miami, so many excellent Cuban restaurants, hope someone shared the hot spots for you and Teka to check out. Thanks Shaun for taking us along, see you in Miami.👍❤️✨

[@revgurley]

If you are unfamiliar with the author Tim Dorsey, you really should check out his books. He writes about a duo of serial killers in Florida, but they're really funny. The main character, Surge Storms, only kills people who disgrace "old Florida." You've seen a lot of it - like sticking dollar bills to the walls of a shack/restaurant. Happens all over south Florida. I know "serial killer" and "humor" don't usually go together, which makes his books even better. You can start anywhere in the collection, but if you can go in order of writing, you might get more "inside jokes."

[@AliSouth-m3i]

A funny bird is the pelican. His bill can hold more than his belly can. Haha

[@oldcodger4371]

Dolphin is a fish, the small whale is a Porpoise.

[@mso4433]

I live in Florida and those pelicans are not tame. Best to not try to hand-feed them. They appreciate the free meal but just toss them the fish if you want to stay in one piece. They get excited and might make a mistake.

[@TimSmith-uc4pk]

I thought a Tarpon got him. 😅

[@ChuckTruitt]

Shaun, I grew up in Ft Laud. I used to know that place really well but, it's grown so much.... I live in Clearwater now. What I want to tell you is that you should flush that pelican wound well with hydrogen peroxide. Do it several times over a few hours then put Bacitracin on it with a band-aid (plaster). Those pelicans have a tooth on the end of their bill, so beware! I lived in Scotland for three years a while ago. Semper Fidelis, Chuck Truitt sends

It appears that pelicans aren't involved in Southern hospitality.😀 I'm not sure whether I've passed this info along already, or not, so here goes: About 52% of Miami-Dade County residents were born outside the United States, while 71.9% of the population spoke a language other than English at home [in 2022].
