Oh, hey, it's that lady in the park, just staring at pigeons, trying to imagine what's on their minds.

Allie Ward back with more ologies to gulp into your mouth pouch.

Oh, open wide for this Smologies episode about Pelicans.

Here's the deal, if you're like, what's Smologies?

Smologies are shorter edited versions, they're g-rated,

so they're classroom safe.

This one is all about birds with big mouths.

Now if you want the full episode you can click the link in the show notes.

Those are a little racier, more in depth, but this is a great digest if you're

carpooling to school or you need something to send your grandma if she just not swear.

Maybe she does. But anyway, clean version, shorter, enjoy.

Okay, pelicanology. Others have used this word before so we're using it now.

So Pelican seems to come from Pelicus, which is the Greek for axe, because of the

bird's long axe-handily bill.

So I started following this ologist recently and her pinned tweet is a video of what appears

to be tiny plucked chickens that are dancing, but they are actually squawking pelican infants, and I love them.

So I messaged her three words in all caps.

Let's talk pelicans.

As one does in a professional correspondence, and her response was, I can talk about dinosaur flus all day.

So we hopped on the horn to chat about bird nerds and big bills and saggy sacks, wingspans, spine allusions, dive bombs and more.

So open your ears and mouth pouches for pelicanologist Jowita Martinez A pelicanology. Aology.

Monologies.
