No, of course they don't. Animals don't have mental health problems, unlike humans. They try to protect themselves from death, as that is in their nature. :)
Is a squadron of pelicans the correct term?
Officially, no, though I have heard that for years also. I cannot find anything other than the group name being "pod".
I just checked again and did find an Australian site which considers "squadron" an acceptable term for a grouping of pelicans. There, I feel much better knowing that.

Do Pelicans and Seagulls compete for food?
We are watching pelicans diving out on the Capistrano Beach ocean. Almost each pelican has its own seagull. The pelican dives for food and the seagull lands nearby. We cannot see why that is. Any answers?
Why do pelicans have a long wingspan?
The updraft winds that birds soar on are weaker over water so larger wings allow them to ride these updrafts. Birds will soar whenever possible to conserve energy and can often go for hours without flapping their wings. Many birds that spend long periods of time over water have larger wings in comparison to land birds.
