We used to trailer our boat and vacation over in the Sarasota area; the public park where we always launched our boat had a fish cleaning table for folks coming back in after fishing. There were always Pelicans and Herons hanging around hoping for a handout, waiting for the fish remains which should have been disposed of properly and not thrown into the water for the birds but unfortunately it's a common occurrence throughout Florida. It is unusual for a Sandhill Crane to be begging for french fries and very worrisome to me that it had no fear of humans going in and out of the door which puts that bird in jeopardy. Someone should notify Wendy's and let them know that since 2002 it is illegal to feed Florida Sandhill Cranes:
