Pelicans coloring pages

If your child is interested in wild birds, offer him or her pelican coloring pages. This feathered creature has a remarkable appearance - white plumage, grey webbed feet and a huge beak with a leather pouch. The pelican feeds on small fish, which it catches in shallow sea waters, rivers and lakes. The bird hunts by dipping its head into the water and swallowing the fish. In Christian culture, the pelican symbolises parental love and self-sacrifice as it cares for its chicks in a touching way.
