National Aviary wants your help naming rescued pelican

PITTSBURGH — A rescued brown pelican has found a permanent home in Pittsburgh’s National Aviary, and the public can vote on her name.

The pelican was rescued after suffering a wing injury, arriving at the aviary in December from a wild bird rescue center in Florida.

While the bird has recovered from her wing injury, she’s unable to fly long distances.

The pelican now lives in the aviary's Wetlands habitat -- but she needs a name. The public has until March 13 to vote on her name (CLICK HERE to vote).
