The staff of animal conservation Nomad Tanzania discovered a young pelican abandoned by its flock after a powerful storm and took him in. They named him Bigbird.

Alone and young, the staff actually had to teach Bigbird how to fly by running up and down the beach flapping their arms. 

Finally, Bigbird’s instincts kicked in and he took off.

They attached a GoPro to his beak and captured the most breathtaking video ever that is now going viral.
