Pelicans live along the ocean coast, and are almost always within 20 miles of the shore. They like warm coastal ocean water or places where rivers meet the ocean when they are not breeding. They sleep offshore at night and rest during the day when they are not looking for food.
Pelicans form nurseries, similar to the ones encountered in flamingos and penguins. They can swallow fish weighing up to 1.85 kg (4.1 pounds). Pelicans can fly up to 200 km (120 mi) daily, from their colonies to the feeding areas. Because pelican excrements are acid, they destroy the reed beds or the trees around, and pelican colonies must be relocated once every couple of years. 5. Only the brown pelicans of the Americas live at sea and dive for fish.
