Hey, Webkinz fans! I am the Pet of the Month for September and here’s a rhyme to help you remember my most unique feature –
A funny old bird is the Pelican
His beak can hold more than his belly can!
We pelicans are known for our huge throat pouches. The bottoms of our beaks are made of a stretchy, elastic skin. We use our beaks almost like a fishing net to scoop up a fish. Then we tip our heads to drain out the water and swallow the fish – yum! Some folks think we store our food there like a hamster, but that’s not the case – if I’ve got a fish in my beak, I’m eating it!
When we want to feed our babies, we hold the food in our pouch and our little ones reach in and help themselves. And you want to know something really weird? Sometimes, before or after feeding, our young ones pass out – unconscious! No one knows why. Is that crazy, or what?
We can also use our beaks to catch rain water for drinking. Some types of pelicans can hold up to three gallons of water in our beaks!

“and our little ones reach in and help themselves,” no offense, but GROSS!!! Oh well, they find it OK, they might think that cooked food is gross.
Bye!
Then again, it is kinda cool.
Yes, I am Urock.
Bye!
My friend really wants the Pelican!
love him!!!!:)
OMG the pelican is like my faveourite bird now I know all the facts!
I LOVE the POTM promotion, I have one that I named OLLIE–
i have a pelican and it is verry funny
This is sooo interesting!!! I wonder if the pelicans can fly with 3 gallons of water in their beaks. Are their wings strong enough to fly with all that extra weight. 3 gallons of water weighs pretty much. Does anyone know?
hey i have a webkinz pelican i named him after king Louis the 14 and after the state Louisiana!!!
cghiel im friending you :)
