	Pelican
		Modern pelicans are found on all continents except Antarctica: they are birds of inland and coastal waters and are absent from polar regions, the deep ocean, oceanic islands, and inland South America.
		In medieval Europe, the pelican was thought to be particularly attentive to her young, to the point of providing her own blood when no other food was available.
		As a result the pelican became a symbol in bestiaries for self-sacrifice, and was used as a symbol in heraldry ("a pelican in her piety").

		Brown Pelicans, (Pelecanus occidentalis) which are endangered, but recovering, are one of the largest sea birds, and the largest species of pelicans.
		Brown pelicans were placed on the endangered list initially due to problems with their shells being too fragile after the pelicans ingested DDT from run-off in the late 1960's.
		Pelicans quickly learn who the fisherman are and will patiently wait behind their boats for fish or fish scraps.

		It also became a symbol in bestiaries for self-sacrifice, and was used in heraldry ("a pelican in her piety" or "a pelican vulning (wounding) herself").

		Alternatively it may be that pelicans look as if they are doing that as they often press their bill into their chest to fully empty their pouch.
