Pelican Catch-All

Its pouch is the bowl. Drop your keys in.

A pelican with its mouth wide open.

It sits by the door, beak up and pouch out, waiting for whatever is in your pockets.

The pouch is the bowl.

From above it is a deep oval, fuller at the front and narrowing to the throat. Keys and an earbuds case sit below the rim.

Beak up, out of your way.

The long upper beak rises high over the pouch, so your hand goes straight in. The neck curves down to the body in a soft S.

Feathers you can feel.

Each folded wing carries rows of carved feathers that run back to a pointed tail.

Keeping an eye on things.

A round cream head and one small black eye on each side, watching over what you drop in.

Back by the door.

8.4 in from the front of the pouch to the tail and 5.5 in to the top of the beak.

Up close

Cream feathers, an orange pouch.

8.4 × 3.9 × 5.5 in, long and low. It takes a corner of an entry table or a nightstand without crowding the lamp.

The pouch close up: a deep orange bowl with a rolled rim, rounded at the bottom, the bird sitting behind it
The pouch is round at the bottom and rolled at the rim, deep enough that your keys sit below it.

From behind: the folded wing and the tail, with the beak raised over the pouch beyond.

The bird that carries things in its beak now keeps yours.

A pelican's pouch is made for holding. Here it is the whole point: one deep bowl, open at the top, with the beak lifted clear of it.

The pouch is checked to hold a 2.4 × 1.8 × 0.6 in block below its rim. That is a set of keys and an earbuds case, with room around them for coins, rings and paper clips.

The dashed outline is the 2.4 × 1.8 × 0.6 in block.

Drawing of the pelican cut down its centre line: the pouch is a deep curved bowl in front of the bird, and the block sits inside it, well below the rim
