Mykonos Pelican Mystery Update: Not What We Wanted To Hear

A while back we asked the series of tubes to please refute the rumors we heard about the demise of the legendary Mykonos pelican Petros I.

Sadly, we recently received an email tip from the Greeks that does not disprove the urban myth, as a matter of fact it corroborates it:

In reply to your blog article about the Myconos pelican Petros I that is sadly true. The sexual offender and bird lover was allegedly either a drunk German tourist OR an Egyptian sailor who was caught, charged, and convicted after his confession.

Apparently we can add drunk German tourists and Egyptian sailors to the list of bird fuckers.

At least the sheep shaggers weren't responsible.
