Pelicans are wonderful creatures. They are iconic birds with that long beak and throat pouch. If you’re a pelican lover and badge collector, this pelican badge will make a nice addition to your badge collection. The photo used in this pelican button is of an Australian Pelican photographed in the Jervis Bay area.
Have you ever stood right up close to a pelican? They’re pretty huge. It’s almost a bit intimidating. But they’re fascinating to be up close to. They love to hang around where fishermen clean their fish after their day’s catch. According to the Australian museum website, they can hold up to 13 litres in the pouch of their beak! Now that is epic. And it would be pretty heavy if they filled it up.
