The avian mascot is "Pierre the Pelican."

The non-avian mascot is called "King Cake Baby."
In theory, it's a nice idea. It's a tribute to the culture of New Orleans which includes eating King Cakes at Mardi Gras. Hidden inside the cake is a small plastic baby. Traditionally, whoever gets the baby in their piece of cake is thought to have good luck. The Pelicans took this idea and decided it would be better if the baby weren't small and plastic, but instead giant and seemingly taken from a Goosebumps book cover.
