Yes the original Petros never recovered and died in 1985. According to what this man told us sitting by the shore. he said this pelican is named after the original Peter. He spoke Greek and broken English and we understood a little bit of Greek. His English sounds "Greek" to us but we were able to get a conversation going. There are actually 3 of them and the other 2 were in hiding. I am not sure how they got these pelicans there after the original Petros died.
