Australian Pelican. OTHER NAMES Spectacled Pelican, Australasian Pelican. Pelicans have lived in Australia for a long time. Their fossil remains have been found in deposits between 30 and 40 million years old. When in groups, pelicans fly in a loose V-formation or in line. Heads are rested back, wings are flapped leisurely several times, and then spread flat in long glides that can carry the birds in soaring circles as high as 3000 metres.
