[edit] Stats
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] Goolayyalibee
Who on earth calls them Goolayyalibee? --Ptcamn 08:15, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
I think its an Aboriginal Word, so it shouldn't be used here because this is the english wikipedia 203.143.238.107 04:09, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
[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). Knowing nothing about Pelicans I do not dare to edit the article, but I strongly doubt the information on the breeding is correct. I can not believe that for "two months they [young pelicans] will be fed fish such as goldfish or the introduced European carp". How can an Australian bird feed his youngsters only on import fish???? I would delete this statement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.105.217.71 (talk) 08:12, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
