So the only bird slightly resembling a pelican beak was drawn by gemini 2.5 pro. In general, none of the output resembles a pelican enough so you could separate it from "a bird".

OP seem to ignore that pelican has a distinct look when evaluating these doodles.



The pelican's distinct look - and the fact that none of the models can capture it - is the whole point.

You didn't even mention the beak or the lack of similarities in your blog.

Your text is centered around this rather peculiar statement:

> Most importantly: pelicans can’t ride bicycles.


The blog was my attempt to capture the key ideas from the talk, which was full of jokes that don't come across as well in text as they do out loud.

"Pelicans can't ride bicycles" is a good joke.
