Pink-Backed Pelican
The Pink-Backed Pelican is a medium-sized bird known for its distinctive pinkish feathers on the back and wings. This species typically inhabits freshwater lakes, rivers, and coastal areas in parts of Africa and Asia. They are social birds, often seen in large flocks, and are known for their cooperative hunting techniques.
These pelicans have a long, curved bill with a large pouch, which they use to catch fish. They primarily feed on small fish and crustaceans, using their unique feeding method of dipping their heads underwater. The Pink-Backed Pelican is a fascinating example of adaptation in aquatic environments.
