ਪੈਲਿਕਾਨ

ਹੋਰ ਵਰਤੋਂਆਂ ਲਈ, ਦੇਖੋ ਪੈਲਿਕਾਨ (ਗੁੰਝਲ-ਖੋਲ੍ਹ)।

ਪੈਲਿਕਾਨ, ਇੱਕ ਬਹੁਤ ਵੱਡਾ ਜਲ-ਪੰਛੀ ਹੈ ਜੋ ਮੱਛੀਆਂ ਖਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਇਸ ਪੰਛੀ ਨੂੰ ਹਰ ਰੋਜ਼ ਘੱਟੋ-ਘੱਟ ਦੋ ਕਿਲੋ ਖ਼ੁਰਾਕ ਦੀ ਲੋੜ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ। ਇਸ ਦੀ ਲੰਬੀ, ਭਾਰੀ ਤੇ ਚਪਟੀ ਚੁੰਝ ਹੇਠ ਇੱਕ ਲਚਕਦਾਰ ਥੈਲੀ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ ਜਿਸ ਨੂੰ ਇਹ ਮੱਛੀਆਂ ਫੜਨ ਲਈ ਜਾਲ ਵਜੋਂ ਵਰਤਦਾ ਹੈ। ਸ਼ਿਕਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਢੇਰ ਸਾਰੇ ਪਾਣੀ ਨਾਲ ਚੁੰਝ ਵਿੱਚ ਲੈ ਆਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਫਿਰ ਪਾਣੀ ਨੂੰ ਬਾਹਰ ਕੱਢ ਕੇ ਸ਼ਿਕਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਨਿਗਲ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਇਉਂ ਹੀ ਸਪੂਨ-ਬਿਲ ਨਾਮਕ ਪੰਛੀ ਆਪਣੀ ਚਿਮਚੇ ਵਰਗੀ ਚੁੰਝ ਨਾਲ ਚਿੱਕੜ ਵਾਲੀਆਂ ਥਾਵਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਆਪਣੀ ਖੁਰਾਕ (ਛੋਟੇ ਜੀਵ) ਲੱਭ ਕੇ ਖਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਖੁਰਾਕ ਦੀ ਭਾਲ ਵਿੱਚ ਇਹ ਪੰਛੀ ਅਕਸਰ ਆਪਣੀ ਚੁੰਝ ਨੂੰ ਚਿੱਕੜ ਵਿੱਚ ਗੱਡੀ ਰੱਖਦਾ ਹੋਇਆ ਹੌਲੀ-ਹੌਲੀ ਤੁਰਦਾ ਰਹਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ।[1]
