Pelicans

Countless thousands..The only species in trouble, the brown pelican, has made a great comeback, and now numbers in the tens of thousands.

they are looking for their lunch that is swimming in the sea.

The white pelican has a wingspan of nine and a half feet. The brown pelican has a wingspan of six and a half feet.

how many pounds of fish do brown pelicans require each day?

No, they usually live near sea ports and the ocean. The like the fish they can find in the ocean. Maybe they have a small nest in a forest near by but they enjoy the sea.

The adult brown pelican

they are not extinct they are endagerd, almos extinct

They are hatched out of eggs, just like every other bird in the world.

Pelicans live on every continent except Antarctica. Brown pelicans live mostly along the coasts of North and South America. The other pelicans usually breed inland, and can be found on all continents except South America.

At breeding time, pelicans prefer nesting areas that are undisturbed, with water nearby where there are plenty of fish. Brown pelicans are the only true seabirds in the group, and they live along seacoasts. In general, the other pelicans breed near freshwater lakes and rivers, although they may spend some time in saltwater areas when they are not nesting.

The pelican has feathers as a body covering. Most birds have feathers rather than fur or scales to cover their bodies. Pelicans are known for their large beaks and their appearance at beaches.

depends if the pelican is a baby the eagle might be able to eat it but it also depends on which type of eagle is trying to eat the pelican.

Although it was removed from the national list of threatened species in 1987, the American white pelican is still considered endangered in Alberta. The population here is increasing (from 548 nesting pairs in 1980 to over 1,000 today) but fewer than half of the 20 known historic nesting islands are still in use.

The American white pelican has faced poison from pollutants that build up in its system due to eating contaminated fish, habitat loss and over-exploitation. Also, the American white pelican is known to abandon its nest and thus its young when the parents are disturbed by human activity.

first they poke their enemies with their beak the the flap their wings to hit them and then they fly away

The Pelican will eat seafood. A Pelican will hunt for its prey by flying/soaring above open salt water bodies & rivers. The Pelican will visually search for the proper size victim/fish and dive directly into the water and attempt to capture the potential meal with its large pouched bill. The Pelican will then return to the surface - naturally to breath - and of course, consume the food. I've enjoyed watching the Pelicans in both the Gulf and Bay in Sarasota, FL.

Some species are 70 in. (180 cm) long, have a wingspan of 10 ft (3 m), and weigh up to 30 lbs (13 kg).

No. It eats mainly fish and amphibians as well as crustaceans. Groups of Brown Pelicans often travel in single file, flying low over the water's surface

6 months

I think that this is incorrect...both by observing the behaviour of spur winged plovers in our backyard in SE Qld and by the following information:

'The incubation period is 28-30 days but addled eggs have been incubated for 55-62 days. Young leave the nest almost immediately after hatching, and some young leave before all eggs have hatched.'
