In 1958, a wounded pelican was found off the coast of Mykonos by a local fisherman. The pelican was nursed to health and remained on the island supported by locals. It soon adopted the name "Petros", as a joke among locals, as "petro" in Greek means "rock" or "stone", but metaphorically "old and grumpy". Petros was hit and killed by a car in December 1985. Subsequently, three new pelicans took up residence around the main town of Mykonos. One, honorifically, was given the name "Petros".
Sixty years later, and Mykonos is now an expensive, tourist destination. And to add insult to injury, they tracked Bourne here and killed poor, Franka Potente.
1965? Wow. I just came from a Instagram videos which said he was 37 years old. Same name and everything
