The bird named after the apostle Peter is the Peter's penguin (also known as the yellow-eyed penguin). This penguin species is found in New Zealand and is named after St. Peter due to the tradition that Peter wept bitterly (associated with the penguin's distinctive yellow eyes) after denying Jesus three times.
