Our pelican partnership

Given our affinity for our own pelican, Gilbert, it seemed only fitting that we should get involved with a pelican colony in the UK. Pelicans have served as a heraldic symbol of generosity for centuries and have a royal past. Pelicans represent the role of 'provider', and have been a symbol of generosity for centuries. This, along with their royal connection, makes them the perfect partner for Royal London.

Royal Zoological Society of Scotland

In keeping with our penchant for pelicans, we’ve also partnered with the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) to look after the colony in Edinburgh Zoo.

This partnership helps to fund the society’s conservation work for the Eastern White, the second largest species of the eight pelican in the world. You can visit the Eastern White Pelican walkthrough exhibit and view the resident flock up close, while learning about the work being done on population studies alongside other projects to help secure natural habitats which are currently suffering from environmental issues such as over-fishing and flooding.

Psst! Heading to the Eastern White Pelican Walkthrough? Aim to pay the pelicans a visit around mid-morning or mid-afternoon to see them up close during feeding.
