The fledgling is missing from Blackpool Zoo after taking to the air when it was startled by seagulls.
A pelican has gone missing from a zoo after taking to the air when it was scared by a flock of gulls.
It said the pelican was then "taken on a gust of wind" and keepers lost sight of it at about 16:00 BST as it headed towards South Shore.They said the brown-feathered bird was about 4ft tall with a 5ft wingspan and had been "seen in the area" since it flew off. They said pelicans were "beautiful, docile creatures" and there was "no threat to the public", but anyone who spots it should not approach it.
