As the name suggests, this pelican
only has one wing but he is
35 years old!!
What a survivor.
The demonstrators ensure he gets fish at
each feeding.

He has been known to the rescue team for over 30 years without one of his wings.

Well Elaine, this shot is a first for me. Wonder how it lost a wing. 35 years old !!! Amazing. Hats off to the staff who look after it and keep it fed and healthy.
