"Mr Percival"
Uploaded: September 09, 2006
A tribute to the great Australian author Colin Thiele who passed away this week at the age of 85. One of my favorite books as a child 'Storm Boy' featured a wonderful pelican hero called Mr Percival. September 2006

Fantastic close up and tribute Julie. #3288594John Connolly September 09, 2006
A remarkable close up of Percival, Julie! Every pelican we meet, we always say "G'Day Percy" to them, and have always done so since we read the book, and saw the movie. I actually have some video of the pelican that stared in the movie, captured at Adelaids Seaworld before it was forced to close down. #3288835Paul Sikora September 10, 2006
Another super close up, with all the colour and detail. #3290162Jenny Bosmans September 10, 2006
