Debbie Shoemaker of Toledo, Ohio, was swimming Thursday near Treasure Island, a beach community west of St. Petersburg, when she felt something hit her face. The bird's large beak ripped through her cheek, requiring 25 stitches. The 50-year-old housecleaner, who vacations in Florida about twice a year, returned home Friday. Nature has collided with humans in Florida - alligators, fish and even stingrays have caused injuries or deaths - but local officials say they've never heard of a pelican hitting someone with so much force. An expert surmises the bird was likely diving for fish and hit Shoemaker by accident. The pelican died. Know That !

The flyer said specifically not to leave your kids alone with food, as they would be promptly eviscerated. Whether by birds or by people was not entirely clear.
