Yes, pelicans can choke, though it is relatively uncommon. Their throat pouch is designed to hold and filter water while catching fish, but if they attempt to swallow prey that is too large or improperly positioned, it can lead to choking. This can pose a risk to their health, as it may obstruct their airway or digestive tract. However, pelicans generally have evolved mechanisms to manage their feeding effectively.
