A Wonderful Bird Is the Pelican
Narrated by David Attenborough
If ever a bird looked like one of nature's practical jokes, it must be the pelican, with its huge pouch and clumsy waddling gait.
But once off the ground, the pelican shows itself in its true role: at the nest, a gentle bird with an endearing family life, in the air, the ultimate flying/fishing machine. Watch out for its amazing formation flying display!
