Pelicans are
a genus of large water birds comprising the family Pelecanidae. They are
characterised by a long beak and large throat pouch used for catching prey and
draining water from the scooped up contents before swallowing. They have
predominantly pale plumage, the exceptions being the brown and Peruvian
pelicans. The bills, pouches and bare facial skin of all species become
brightly coloured before the breeding season. Source
