• English: Great White Pelican
• Filipino: Pagala

This is a bird that I won’t be able to see in the wild, as it looks not a native bird in the Philippines. “Great” is appropriate as the bird is big. I was not able to see its gular pouch open, but by just looking at the beak you don’t need to imagine how big it possibly could be.

The representative bird here was alone in his(?) cage and shy. I hope my videoing did not stress him too much.
