Pelly Update

No it wasn’t Pelly…….it was the girl (Michelle) who picked up Pelly the other day calling to let me know how he was doing.
He still isn’t using his foot, if it is still that way on Monday they will x-ray it.
Pelly was given several kinds of medicine, some to treat his lice. They were not only on his skin but in his mouth. We had seen them and read about it online and learned it is very common in pelicans. Michelle said they could really see an improvement in him (they are calling Pelly a boy too) as far as the lice.
He is inside, has a heating pad and gets 4 of the blue gill and some of the other fish we sent with him once a day.
He must feel like he is on a diet after the way I was feeding him! He has tried to poke his beak at them and has also been talking to them. I laughed and said he was trying to tell them he wanted more food as that is what he would do to me when hungry.
They already have a pen outside for him to use when his foot is better and I can call next week to see how he is. I am very thankful that they are helping Pelly and I hope they are enjoying him as much as we did.
I wonder what Pelly would have thought if he had seen all the Canadian geese show up! There were thirty of them……it is difficult now to tell the babies from the parents. Seeing them really made me think of Pelly and miss him. Then a beer truck went by and I was thankful that Pelly was in a safe place and being cared for.
Closeup……beautiful but not Pelly.
Today I am going to Hiawatha, IA to the Nolting Longarm Quilting Machine Open House with my neighbor. There will be demonstrations and lots of fun and prizes!! I can’t wait! Tomorrow I am hoping to do a update post on using my FitBit…..I love it!
I will miss the Pelly Adventures 🙂
I had been wondering how Pelly was. So glad they are caring for him. I sure hope they figure out what is wrong with his foot. Would be a shame if it was injured so badly that it kept him from returning to the wild. Will look forward to more updates. Hope you had a great outing today.

glad to hear good news about Peli
Thanks for the update. I was wondering how he was doing.
So happy to hear of Pelly and is care. How thoughtful of Michelle to call you with an update. Nice to have the Canadian Geese visit. We have them here too. Pelly Blessings Dear…
I wonder once Pelly is better and sent out on his own if you'll see him again each year. I bet he does feel like they have him on a diet. How funny. I'm happy to hear they sound like a great place for him to recover. I hope they can figure out what happened and get him fixed up. That's awesome they called to give a report to you on how he's doing.
Hope you had fun today and won some great prizes.
So glad to hear Pelly is recovering!!! I know you miss him though 🙁 I bet the geese were something to see.
Wow, the river has really gone down! Look at the bell. It was sweet for Michelle to call you with an update.
If the call had been from Pelly, he'd be saying "send more fish!" Still praying for a happy ending.
That's wonderful news about Pelly! Glad he is doing better. It sounds like they are taking real good care of him. It's really nice that they are keeping you updated on him and you are sharing that with all of us! Hope you have a good time at the open house!
Glad for the update! You were a life saver!
Lucky Pelly to have human friends to help him. It was fun seeing how you looked after him (with such care and dedication), and the update is great. Hopefully his foot will feel better without intervention. Is the goal to (eventually) re-introduce him to the wild?
I bet that is kind of sad that Pelly has a new home, I bet you miss him tons, hope his foot get well.
Amazing how serendipitous events like the arrival of a young pelican can impact our lives, isn't it.
I wish I were going to visit Nolting with you. I so want to own one!
that was nice that they called you with an update! as long as they don't try to give him back to you huh.
I was thinking about Pelly this morning so was happy to see your headline and that he is doing so well. How nice of Michelle to call and give you an update. I am sure everyone there is enjoying Pelly. I wouldn't think that people who don't enjoy animals would want to work there. Have fun at your outing today.
Poor Pelly being put on a restrictive diet.
Oh, goody! I was afraid your ties had been cut!! Look forward to all Pelly's news. I hope his foot is okay. Have fun at the open house!
So nice they are keeping you updated – I hope he thrives and we all get a chance to see him take is flight into freedom. Enjoy your trip.
aww, glad he's getting better even though they are STARVING him 😉
Thank you so much for the update, I was hoping to see more about this darling boy. I hope you told Michelle that you probably have hundreds of people interested in his story!! Carole @ From My Carolina Home
HI! I'm happy to hear Pelly is doing fine! x Teje
