Zoo hosts refugee pelicans from oil-stricken Gulf - East Valley Tribune - Arizona Local News
“It’s not the Gulf of Mexico, but White pelicans migrate north and south, and in the warmer months of the year they live in areas similar to the exhibit they’re going to. It’s a wetland area with a quarter-acre pond that will be rather deep. They’ll share that with sandhill cranes, Mexican red brocket deer, blackneck swans and Chilean flamingos. There will be a lot going on to keep them stimulated and occupied,” says Subaitis.
