Red book bird
The Dalmatian pelican is one of the two types of pelicans in Bulgaria. It is among the largest Bulgarian birds, with a body length of 160 – 180 cm and a wingspan of 270 – 320 cm. It differs from the pink pelican with its gray-white plumage and the curly feathers of the crown, where his name comes from. During the breeding period, the bill and pouch become bright red.
