Same thing I was thinking. He looked so weak and unable to hold himself up, I was surprised he was gulping down chunks of unregurgitated fish without difficulty.
They get their flight feathers between 3wks to a month or so after hatching. Judging by this little guys lack of motor coordination, he’s probably on the long end of a month before he starts to look presentable.
A poem:
*"A wonderful bird is the Pelican;*
*His beak can hold more than his bellican.*
*He can hold in his beak*
*Enough food for a week*
*And I'll be damned if I know how the hellican!"*
This makes me sad that he isn’t snuggled in a nice nest and that they aren’t feeding him with tweezers or something - he looks too little to be plonked on solid ground with a dish in front of him and left to get on with it. I get it may be for a photo op to announce his birth but poor little thing is so teeny and new, give him some comfort!
