Tuturu♪ I'm Eriya, but call me Eri. Quite honestly, I actually preferred to be called Eri-tan as it sounds so cute but it's up to you to decide. | Tuturu♪ I'm Eriya, but call me Eri. Quite honestly, I actually preferred to be called Eri-tan as it sounds so cute but it's up to you to decide. | ||

The pink-backed pelican is a relatively small pelican. Its length is from 125 to 155 cm, wingspan is 2.15 to 2.9 m and body mass is from 4 to 7 kg. The bill is 30 to 38 cm in length. The plumage is grey and white, with a pinkish hue on the back occasionally apparent. Its dusky grey flight feathers contrast with the whitish wing coverts. Adult’s upperwing pattern shows pale greyish or pinkish grey coverts, contrasting with dark grey flight feathers. They have dark grey wingtips. Legs are variable in colour, ranging from grey to yellow or reddish orange, becoming pinkish red in breeding season. The top of the bill is yellow and the pouch is usually greyish. | |||
The pink-backed pelican is found in a range of aquatic habitats, but prefers quiet backwaters with shallow water, avoiding steep, vegetated lake banks. It prefers for freshwater lakes, swamps, large slow-flowing rivers, and seasonal pools but also frequents reservoirs, seasonally flooded land and flood-plains near river mouths. Nesting trees have many nests built close together. These nests are re-used every year until the trees collapse, although the birds will normally remain in the area. The species nests colonially in trees, reeds or low bushes along waterfronts as well as on the ground on sandy islands and in mangroves. | |||
They feed on usually fish and amphibians. It plunges its head under the surface and fills its pouch with fish and water. It shakes water out of the tip of the beak, and swallows the fish. They generally fish in groups, forming a line to surround a shoal of fish. They plunge their heads at the same time, to fright and confuse the fish, and they scoop up in their pouches. Their beaks can hold up to 8 litres of water and fish. | |||

They also made a spin-offs of their mascots, Prinnies. The spinoff games are platforming and it's really hard for me and still does. Both plots were really silly though. | They also made a spin-offs of their mascots, Prinnies. The spinoff games are platforming and it's really hard for me and still does.
