[CLOSED] Pelican Cove

  • Media owner Zooish
  • Date added
In the 2010s, Jurong housed all 8 extant species of Pelicans. 7 of them (Dalmatian, Eastern White, American White, Australian, Spot-billed, Pink-backed and Brown) were housed at Pelican Cove. The Pelicans were a mix of pinioned and free-flighted individuals; the free flight ones would fly to nearby waterbodies (including those outside the park) to feed and return to the cove to roost at night.

The exhibit comprised 2 parts - a boardwalk running along the length of the cove from which visitors could hand feed the Pelicans for a fee, and a sheltered gallery with a glass-fronted pool for feeding sessions.
 
Seems like they're only keeping the Australians
in Wings of Asia (technically Asian animals). Could've also kept the spot-billeds at least
 
@noobmaster69 the Pink-backed Pelicans appear to be gone from the collection. Many of the Great Whites, Dalmatians and Australians are with the bird show.
