There are two ways of how to get bait of the friend of the pelican.
One way is white pelican type that at first ir makes a U-shaped file on the surface of the water and drive away school of fish in shallow when one finds the school of fish in. A product surrounds a ring next and lets school of fish crowd and inserts a bill in there all at once. And it catch a fish with a throat bag.
The other way is brown pelican type that draw a chin and it pull a wing behind and makes nose dive when the one already discovers school of fish from the sky. It enter underwater and after all catch a fish using a throat bag. And it pull up a bill slowly from the surface of the sea after surfacing and it pull water of the inside and swallow only a fish.
