Who has seen a baby pelican? I haven´t. Something unusual about the populations of coastal pelicans is that baby pelicans are never seen.
Pelicans nest far away in inland or remote locations in large breeding colonies. The pair chooses a relatively flat nest site on gravel, sand, or soil near other pelicans at the same stage of the breeding cycle. In southern, drier regions, they nest amongst sparse vegetation. In forested regions, sites may be under shrubs or trees.
Both parents feed their young.
From about 25 days old, the young pelicans gather in “pods” or “crèches” of up to 100 birds. The parents recognise and feed only their own offspring.

Do you have brown or American white pelicans near you?

Ah unfortunately not. I am quite far away from them here in Iceland. We have annoying seagulls and plenty of geese though. 🙂

I have not seen a baby but enjoy seeing grown pelicans at the beach. I’m enjoying all your pelican posts!
