Some pelicans live in Australia. They like to live near water like seas and also rivers or ponds. They also live on the land.

 

A pelican is a large bird and it has white feathers. It has a long beak with a sharp hook on the end. It has very short. Young pelicans have pink bills and legs and adult pelicans have orange bills and legs.

 

Pelicans like to eat lots of fish and crabs; also frogs and lobsters.

 

The baby pelicans grunt to beg for food a call that sounds much like the bark of a small dog.

 

Pelicans live 15 – 25 years

 

Last week Room 6  was learning about ANZAC biscuits and why they are important to New Zealanders and Australians. In world war 1 New  Zealanders and Australians fought together in war. NZ and Australian women baked ANZAC cookies  for the soldiers to eat. The ingredients are butter,  flour,  golden syrup and baking soda. When I took a bite it tasted crunchy and crumbly like salty chips, but it was as sweet as sugar.
