What is a group of pelicans called?

A group of pelicans is called a pod, a squadron, or a scoop. They are large water birds with long bills and expandable throat pouches used for catching and holding fish. Pelicans are social birds and are often found in large groups near bodies of water that are abundant in fish. While they may compete for food, they also cooperate when hunting by working together to herd fish into a group for easier catching. Pelicans are found all over the world, and some of the most commonly known species include the brown pelican, the white pelican, and the Peruvian pelican.
