The closest I could get was this sign in Centennial Park
http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Centennial+Park+NSW,+Australia&ie=UTF8&cd=2&geocode=0,-33.894837,151.230497&ll=-33.891044,151.2432&spn=0.021196,0.049438&z=15&layer=c&cbll=-33.899478,151.239098&panoid=ZGUc1_Y_TnnPGVtxCwGUWw&cbp=1,234.931997237544,,0,5
Otherwise I looked at numerous bridges and parks and not one pelican, 
gull, myna or turtle-dove.
Cheers,
Peter
