From Prague with love: Pelicans Sun, Moon and Star head for new London home

PRAGUE - Three great white pelicans were crossing Europe by van on Thursday en route to their new home in a central London park, where they will become part of a centuries-old tradition with royal connections.

Sent by Prague Zoo, Sun, Moon and Star are to live next to a small lake in St James’ Park, close to Queen Elizabeth’s London residence. It is the third time the Czech capital has sent such birds to the picturesque open space by Buckingham Palace, where pelicans first arrived in 1664 in the guise of a gift from the Russian ambassador to King Charles II, according to charity The Royal Parks.Prague Zoo sent four in 1995, and three more in 2013, its director Miroslav Bobek said. “We were first asked for them in the nineties because we were one of the first to successfully breed white pelicans,” he said.

Never heard of the park until recently watching a new series.

Buffoon Boris’ gonna either kick them out or eat them.

Pelicans from Germany to London, with love.😌🥳💋😊💜

They are beautiful but they'd be even more beautiful free and in nature, their true 'home' 😞

GOOD

Close all Zoos! Freedom for all Animals!🚫
