Brown Pelicans
California Week Two
Why was the pelican kicked out of the hotel?
Because he had a big bill!
Interesting Fact: While the Brown Pelican is draining the water from its bill after a dive, gulls often try to steal the fish right out of its pouch—sometimes while perching on the pelican’s head. Pelicans themselves are not above stealing fish, as they follow fishing boats and hang around piers for handouts. ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Brown_Pelican/lifehistory )

I bet you’ve heard this one, “A pelican’s bill can hold more than his belly-can”. Don’t know if that is true. 🙂
Wow, I never knew that. I will look in to it, if it’s true. Thank you very much for stopping by and sharing that with me. Happy Blogging! 🙂
I dug up the source and the complete verse. I remember hearing it when I was a little girl.
“A wonderful bird is the Pelican.
His beak can hold more than his belly can.
He can hold in his beak
Enough food for a week!
