Well- these were.
The pelican in this Crete fishing town was crippled in the wing, and had learned to make a living from the kind-hearted people of the village.
These two boys were trying to slap it on the head.
I kept telling the pelican to clamp a vise-like grip in the area where the boys might develop proper reproductive organs. With that "tooth" on its top beak, the peli could dissuade the boys. Quickly.
But it was a Greek pelican, and I was speaking in English.
The boys eventually got tired of their teasing and left.

Good capture Charlie.
Maybe what they needed was a slap to their own heads.

Thanks, MrChile.
I can't disagree with that- although they were probably good kids in most other ways.
Funny thing about treating animals with respect: even in most "uncivilized" societies where hunting animals was necessary for the people to survive- those societies treated the animals with respect- often having ceremonies to show that respect.
But in our modern "civilized" societies we often don't respect animals.
But a mild slap on the boys' heads sure isn't the job for a traveler in foreign lands.
Even then, heads are too important for parents to smack around.
There's a reason why kid's butts are big enough to make good targets for open hands.
