RFI What is a baby pelican called?

[Carl Clifford <>]

Trevor,

I think you will find that the only name you could call is a chick.  
Looks like no one got around to giving names to young pelicans.
Cheers,

Carl Clifford

Hi there birders,
one
I hope someone can help me with this.

This morning I was the guest speaker on Australian Birds at our local  
Ladies Probus Club.
One of the ladies asked me "What is a baby pelican called?"

I had to admit that I didn't know if there was a special name, other  
than chick or nestling. A search of the internet has not thrown any  
light on this either, except I found two references to "toddlers" on  
less than authoritative sites.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

Trevor
