LOL There they are! In Ca Trev used to feed seagulls in the back yard. They are so veracious it soon looked like a scene from the "Birds" & he'd have to come in! *L*

I hadn't seen any Pelicans like that, now I know why:

*********************************************

Pelicans of the World
Australian Pelicans Australian PelicanAustralian Pelicans (Pelecanus conspicillatus) can be found in Australia, and occasionally New Guinea, New Zealand, and Sulawesi.

These pelicans can be found on lakes, rivers, along coastline, and in estuaries. They normally fish for food in groups, herding the fish into shallow water where they can easily be caught.

Australian Pelicans are sometimes called Australasian or Spectacled Pelicans. They are white in color with black wingtips. They have a wing span up to 10 ft. Australian Pelicans have the longest beaks of any bird in the world.
