Meet the Pelicans

There is actually a sweet story here...this California Brown Pelican was rescued and after healing was deemed unsafe to reintroduce into the wild because of broken wing. He has a fabulous habitat outside the aquarium and is free to leave the viewing area whenever he wants. They exercise his body and brain with treats and training. What a contrast to the miserable animals I saw recently at Wildlife Safari in Bandon.
Thanks so much for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs and taking yesterday's jellyfish to the trending page
Amazing -- I thought it was a wood carving til I read your commentary!

Interesting pose for the pelican. So glad the guy was rescued and cared for. Where is this place he is at?

Beautiful detail! I love how his pouch is so lean because he's stretching out...
