Grateful Pelican Visits The Guy Who Saved His Life Every Single Day

When Omar El Oud and his father were out fishing one day, Omar noticed a huge white bird floating in the lake. As they approached, they discovered it was a stranded pelican in desperate need of help.

He enjoys having his back and chest scratched, but only by those he trusts. El Oud added that "He sometimes follows us around and even tries to communicate with us vocally." Even though Ovi is healthy and happy in the marina a year after his rescue, El Oud wishes that humans had never intervened in his life. "Something like this never should have happened," El Oud said. "Ovi should have not been in this position but unfortunately, rules regarding Lebanese birds are not enforced well."
