'Pelican in her piety' in heraldry and symbolical art, is a representation of a pelican in the act of wounding her breast in order to nourish her young with her blood a practice fabulously attributed to the bird. The pelican cutting open its own breast represents Christ's death on the cross, and the shedding of his blood to revive us and therefore adopted as a symbol of the Redeemer and of charity. An explanation of this is that the pelican's bill has a crimson red tip and the contrast of this red tip against the white breast probably gave rise to the tradition that the bird tore her own breast to feed her young with her blood.

Sorry, I just find pelicans odd. It was really off topic, I guess.

pelicans will straight up eat pigeons, I'm sure they'd eat small cats too.

I love the pelican in her piety. Once I get some money socked away and finally get an appointment with the artist I want to draw it, I'm getting a stylized pelican in her piety as a tattoo.

She's on the LA state flaghttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e0/Flag_of_Louisiana.svg/800px-Flag_of_Louisiana.svg.png
During the 19th century it was traditional in Louisiana flags and the state seal for the "pelican in her piety" to have three drops of blood on her chest.[1] However, in later years the tradition (on both the state flag and seal) had been haphazardly followed, which was noticed by an eighth-grader at Vandebilt Catholic High School in Houma who brought this to the attention of his state legislator.[1] The issue was resolved in April 2006, when the Louisiana State Legislature passed a bill (House Bill 833/Act 92[2]) which requires three drops of blood to be depicted on the pelican used in both the state's flag and seal.

Forks - I love the pelicans! I was actually thinking it for a while because there have been a bunch of duplicate posts and the thread is to long to load and search. If other ppl don't see the need though then that's cool!

Yeah that's awesome. A pub/hotel up the road from me has a bunch of animals - goats, ponies, chickens, ducks etc., nothing too exotic. But I found myself being followed by a bunch of ducklings (maybe half the brood) who got confused as their mother passed me. Mother duck noticed pretty quick though, else they would have been coming home with me.
