We have also had a Pelican brought into us. It is another teenager who has not managed the transition from being cared for by his parents to looking after himself well. He is very thin and emaciated but otherwise is very healthy. We took xrays to check for fishing hooks etc that are another common cause of thin pelicans but none are visible. So he will simply require feeding up so that he can have a second chance at a wild life.

The pelican has moved out to a carer who has a sanctuary. in typical pelican fashion on the very day of his release on to the little billabong he was coming up out of the water for food. we were a little worried that when he went out he would not be keen on the human contact required to keep him well fed, but our concerns were unnecessary and he happily begs for food.
