What's the story with his name? (I assume they're a "local celebrity", rather than a pet?)

thanks - my name for them - a reference to " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_Boy_ (film) Australian story about a boy and his Pelican, Mr Percival. These are wild at a nearby open-air bird sanctuary.

Was just about dark, so not much time to play. But I was very surprised at the quickness of the AF.

Yes, it's fast. But I think certain situations the AF hunts little bit. Overall I'm very happy
