A blue jay named Butternut lands on a sign in the wetlands habitat at the Florida Aquarium in Tampa.
TAMPA, Fla. Theo, 3, isn’t really into the lake smelt being served for breakfast, so he flips his head back and spits the little fish at the woman in the rubber boots.
“He’s so dramatic about it,” says Michelle Uhlig.
The palm-sized Peruvian smelt, however, he devours in a gulp.
Theo’s roommate Josh, who is around 10 and is also a rescue pelican who can no longer fly, is a bit more polite, eating whatever comes his way.
