This portrait was taken at Mallacoota Inlet in Victoria, Australia. The Australian pelican is medium-sized by pelican standards however its pale, pinkish bill is enormous & larger than other pelicans and it is actually the largest bill in the avian world - - -A wonderful bird is a pelican / His bill will hold more than his belican / He can take in his beak / Food enough for a week / But I'm damned if I see how the helican - - Dixon Lanier Merritt. . . .
