Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Pelikki were a species of bird that lived on the rivers of the planet Naboo, along with their duck and quadduck cousins. Thanks to their expandable throat poach, the fish-eating waterfowl could scoop up their prey while hunting. Although adapted to the large-scale presence of Nabooian Humans, who sometimes fed them for pleasure, the pelikki remained untamed and were still easily frightened by abrupt movements.
