I noticed that someone on the internet has referred to them as "toddlers". I
don't know if it was meant to be a tongue-in-cheek name, but it does seem
appropriate considering the way that fledgling pelicans waddle on land.

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,

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
