Now's Your Chance To Fly With A Pelican (VIDEO)

Watching a pelican learn to fly on video would be magical enough, but imagine getting to experience the ride first-hand.

Apparently, that's exactly what a few folks at Greystoke Mahale in Tanzania had in mind when they attached a GoPro to this pelican's beak. The bird, nicknamed Big Bird, spent months trying to regain its ability to fly after washing up on the shores of the African Great Lake Tanganyika.

According to the video description, Big Bird had been abandoned by its flock before it "stumbled ashore after a storm" in Tanzania.
