[above: a pelican by our riverside restaurant in a place called Tea Gardens (yes, honestly) hopefully waiting for some titbits].Did you know pelicans:
- Can stay in the air for 24 hours.
- Pelicans have a wingspan of 2.3 to 2.5m; and can fly at 56 kph.
- Their bill can hold 13 litres of water.
- They will sometimes eat small turtles or seagulls, but their main diet is fish.
- The males attract females by dancing.
Altogether now:
A most peculiar bird is a pelican
It's beak can hold more than its belly can.
