The flavor text reads "Gathering food is the work of young males. They store food in their capacious beaks and carry it back to others waiting in the nest."

I keep a set binder for Celestial Storm, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Celestial Storm set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Pelipper can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
