Early European settlers were impressed by the abundance of and the generous nurturing attitude toward their young that the Brown Pelicans displayed. The Brown Pelican completely disappeared
for a time, they had quit nesting in the area due to the heavy use of pesticides. They were put on the endangered list and years later repopulated with birds from Florida. They are doing well now. Louisiana has several nicknames, like, Bayou State, Sugar State, Creole State and others including one that I like "The Child of the Mississippi" because silt from the river has added land mass to the state. Since the Pelican is the state bird, on the state flag and seal, it wins the nickname honors.
If you're going to visit the state you can't miss New Orleans. A error in a medical check causes our star to quit her job, cash in her retirement and pursue her "Possibilities". As she tries to live the good life before she dies by spending every dime she has, amazing things start to happen including winning a bundle at the gaming tables, impressing a bunch of stuck ups, meeting her idol chef and getting the guy and career of her dreams. Queen Latifah is a perfect fit for this role. Remember the secret to life is Butter!
