The Australian Pelican, are found near fresh and saltwater lakes, swamps and by the sea.

They often feed together, swimming in flocks, all dipping their huge bills in the water at the same time to scoop up fish. They also feed alone on freshwater crayfish, shrimps and frogs.

Both the male and female build a platform nest of sticks and help to rear the young
