Pelican Love

What a wonderful bird is the Pelican

It's beak can hold more than it's belly can

The locals on Kangaroo Island do love their pelicans! We've seen lots of pelicans here and there but none so admired as here.

 Here is the story of 'Bump', clearly missed by the locals

In case you were thinking that it's just American River having a love affair with pelicans, it extends to Kingscote (40km away) too where there is a tiered arena for watching the nightly feeding of Pete and Bump's relatives.

The area at the base of the Pelican feeding pedestal is covered in Pelican guano

proving that they like calling by for treats!

Classical Pavlov-style training.
