Pelecanoides urinatrix

Pelican swallow is 20-25 cm long and weighs 86-186 grams. The back of the body is black, the belly is white, and the beak is black. The wings have very thin white stripes. The face and neck are more brown. Legs black.

It is found in central and southern Africa (including the southern Arabian Peninsula and the entire African continent south of the Sahara Desert (Tropic of Cancer).)
Pelican swallows live on islands between 35° and 55° south latitude. Although the population of pelican swallows has declined in recent years, the overall number is still too large to worry about. They usually build their nests on slopes, but sometimes on flat ground.

Common Diving Petrel (Pelecanoides urinatrix) is a small diving petrel.

During the breeding period of Pelican swallows, they often foraged on the continental shelf. Behavior during the non-breeding period is not known. Like other birds in the Pelican family, they flap their wings as thrust for diving and can dive to depths of up to 60 meters. Pelican swallows feed mainly on crustacean zooplankton.

Protect wild animals and eliminate wild meat.
