Video of elderly man sitting near a massive pelican in park gone viral

The amazing photograph, which has gone viral, depicts an old guy sitting on a wooden seat, perhaps scared by the bird staring at him severely.

When it comes to taking some ‘me time’ in the great outdoors, most people think of it as therapeutic. One photograph of a man in a park, on the other hand, has gone viral on Twitter for a completely opposite reason.

The odd snapshot has sparked a slew of memes in addition to attracting the attention of users on the microblogging site.

The snapshot of an elderly guy sitting on a bench listening to music would have been uninteresting if it hadn’t been for the presence of a large pelican on the same seat nearby.

Photographer Lin took the shot at London’s famed St James Park, and it went viral after writer Eleanor Olcott posted it on Twitter.

This is actually just a photo from Good Omens series 2, right @neilhimself? You can clearly see that it's @michaelsheen on the right 😂 https://t.co/avXQmvHsvU

I’ve played enough video games to know, this bird has a side quest for him and information he will need for the rest of his journey

According to the media, “First introduced to the park in 1664 as a gift from the Russian Ambassador, over 40 pelicans have since made the park home.”

The resident avians are described as “outgoing, sociable creatures” that are occasionally naughty, according to the media.
