IMPORTANT NOTES:

-Pelican uses the flamingo rig. Though the body and neck have proportions similar enough to suit the pelican, the legs do not, therefore the pelican will float on land. The pelican is however rigged to fully move it's body, though some distortions will occur during some animations (neck during feeding, beak clipping issues on land but fine in water). As with the ducks, coded to go to land as little as possible to minimise this.

-Decision was made to remove wings altogether from future bird mods as they look sleeker and nicer. Please note that this means the odd wing-based behaviour the birds would normally have is not displayed, but this impact should be minimal.

-Based on the Greater Flamingo. Uses enrichment and habitat items suitable for this species.

-Doesn't currently have a functional education board. Will hopefully update with this in the future.
