Having evolutionary success does not mean having intelligence.

  For sure... but birds in general are surprisingly smart if you really pay attention. Even chickens are smarter than they usually get credit for. Chickens mostly lack the opportunity to learn...chickens raised in a completely open environment develop surprising behaviors and show unexpected insight. Im guessing that pelicans, being predators, are probably much smarter.

    Bird intelligence is popular culture. Parrots, crows, even seagulls. Not pelicans. Pelicans are dumb.

      Could be. Not that well aquatinted. But whenever I take the time, birds tend to surprise me.
