During mating season, the skin on a pelican's chin, known as the gular pouch, often becomes a vivid red. This change is particularly noticeable in some species, such as the American White Pelican and the Brown Pelican. The bright red color is a signal used to attract mates, indicating the bird's readiness for breeding.
