alot of collections actually hav spot billed pelicans and havnt known tht they did especially if they hav pink backs cause they got muddled up a few times. we at longleat hav had the pink backs for many years and then we suddnely found tests suggesting a spot billed. he is still here and is 50 yrs old
no I have never been in Blackbrook, but I can tell you this is a Pink backed pelican. Dalmatian pelicans usuallay don't have so much grey on their back and the throat pouch is pink. A dalmatian pelican has a yellow or orange-red throat pouch.
