Mr Percival - star of the 1976 South Australian film Storm Boy has died at Adelaide Zoo from old age at 33 last night.
Based on Colin Thiele’s novel about a young boy who raised three pelicans and is made to set them free by his dad.
I remember seeing the movie and being touched by it when I was a child and recommend anyone that hasn’t seen it tracks it down.
Mr Percival is survived by his seven offspring that he sired with his long term partner Alto
RIP Mr Percival!
