Question

1. Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions (7)

A myth has been built around the pelican, one of the oldest surviving birds. It is a commonly

held belief that the mother feeds her chicks on her own blood. So people have regarded the

pelican as most affectionate and dutiful bird.

The large bill of the bird makes it very easy to recognize it. It has a short tail, short legs, long

wings and a large bag under its bill. Because of its webbed toes, the pelican finds walking on the

land difficult.

However, it is a delight to watch these birds in flight. The pelican has figured among the largest

of birds. It has a wing span of up to 2.75 meters, and weighs between 4.5 and 11 kg. It lives in

places with a moderate climate. It migrates to India, Africa and Iran in winter because its wings

do not give sufficient protection against the cold. The brown pelican is the smallest of the

pelicans. It dives its head long into water from quite a height to get at its prey. The other six

species of pelicans have a white plumage.

Pelicans are very sociable birds. They travel, rest, nest and even fish together. The young

pelicans take wing when they are about two months old. The nests of pelicans are far from the

source of any food. Therefore, the adults have to fly great distances to get food
