Summary
A brown pelican turned up at a Florida marine research facility and repeatedly pecked at the back door until staff came to investigate.
A biologist found the bird standing on the stoop and waiting at the glass; a quick inspection showed the pelican was injured.
Annsli Hilton, a marine researcher at the facility, called the encounter a "once-in-a-lifetime experience" after the quiet morning was interrupted by the bird's apparent plea for help.
