In mideival (no idea how you spell that) times, people thought pelicans brought their dead young to life by picking open their own chest and letting their blood drop in the young ones beak. It was thought that when food was scarce, pelicans fed their young with their own blood. This is because the food pelicans regurgitate for their young is red! So it became a symbol of sacrificial mother's love.
There is one wild pelican in the Netherlands, which escaped from a zoo, found one of the absolutely countless bodies of water here and has happily decided to live out it's life alone, which is strange because pelicans are very social birds.
That's the extent of my pelican knowledge. Anything else would come from Wikipedia
