Pelican close up

by Foto Studio Labie

The pelican is a beautiful bird that lives mainly in warm and tropical areas. They have a long bill with a large throat pouch with which they catch fish. A special characteristic of the pelican is that they sometimes work together to enclose a school of fish to make it easier to eat.

If you love birds, this work depicting a pelican is a perfect wall decoration for your home. With the dark background and the effect of tranquillity, the photographer has created a still life that brings this peace and beauty through the simplicity chosen.

You can clearly see the details of the feathers, eyes and beak, which makes this special bird even more interesting to look at. The photo was taken with daylight, but making the background black gives this picture an intimate effect. Can you believe this Pelican was surrounded by more than 50 Pelicans! And that the photo was shot through a mesh fence? This work is a real eye-catcher that will inspire and amaze you every day.

The pelican's scientific name is **Pelecanus**. There are eight different species of pelicans, differing in size, colour and habitat. The pink pelican (Pelecanus onocrotalus) is one of the most common and widespread pelicans.
