All the statistical data that I have come across concerning the Pelican relates to it's length, weight and wingspan. Nowhere can I find data on its WING AREA and it's WING LOADING. These are important factors to anybody interested in studying the flight performance of anything that flies, whether it be a natural flying machine(bird) or man made(aeroplane). If you are collating data on birds and Pelicans in particular, you would be a large leap ahead of any other publication if you include this data in your encyclopedia.

The weight of a pelican is between 100 and 1000 pounds? I think this should be grams.

[edit] Juvenile Pelican

Having checked all the usual sources I cant find a picture of a Baby or Juvenile Pelican. In fact no on-line info about their breeding habits. Can anyone help? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.167.25.215 (talk) 12:16, 10 March 2007 (UTC).
