Tales from the Lagoon ~Episode - Pip Gives An Update

Hi everyone! It’s me Pip the Pelican. If you are just tuning in I survived having a filleted sheepshead fish stuck in my gullet last year. It was a long road to recovery with many bumps along the way.

I was much younger then, I have grown up quite a bit in the last 10 months. I even have grown up feathers now! Shelley says they call that mature. I don’t know what that means but she says I look handsome and I like that.

I have been off galavanting with different flocks of pelicans enjoying life. In the the past week I have visited the lagoon more. I tend to visit when I don’t feel a hundred percent. I like hanging out with Shelley and the dolphins, it’s my safe place, a place to rest and recuperate.

If you can see in the photos, my beak hangs to the side of my neck. I’m not exactly sure why but I know I look different than the other pelicans, especially when I fly. When I am airborne, I hold my head high rather than streamlined. I think being different is cool.

Not to worry, I am doing ok, just a little tired from the cold weather and gusty wind. A little rest on my pole and I’ll be top notch again soon.

Stay tuned for more tales!
