"Ah Condor!" For those of us who are old enough to remember the pipe tobacco advert.
Sounds like a fun cruise Phot.

A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill can hold more than his belican,
He can take in his beak, Food enough for a week,
But I'm damned if I see how the helican
(Dixon Merritt)
======================================================
    King and Queen of the Pelicans we;
    No other Birds so grand we see!
    None but we have feet like fins!
    With lovely leathery throats and chins!
    Ploffskin, Pluffskin, Pelican jee!
    We think no Birds so happy as we!
    Plumpskin, Ploshkin, Pelican jill!
    We think so then, and we thought so still!

Edward Lear, The Pelican Chorus
