Inaugua- birth of Piggy Island?

It’s called “Greater Inagua”, just south of the archipelago of the Bahamas in the Caribbean Sea. The island has some things VERY similar to the Angry Bird’s home; they both have a similar geographic “design”, featuring a lagoon, a large mountain in the middle, and a “cape” that curves westward in the northeast part of the isle. The 2 islands also have similar wildlife, including exotic birds (like flamingos, pelicans, tanagers, cormorants, kestrels, and burrowing owls) and quote “BIRD-watcher’s paradise” (from http://www.bahamas.com/islands/inagua)- again coincidental to the Angry Birds, also exotic birds themselves. The island also has a main port/capital called Matthew Town (*cough* Pig City *cough*) that serves as the main point of civilization on the island. Other than Angry Birds the island is mythically told to have buried treasure located in the northeastern area, hidden by Henri Christophe during 1811-1820.

Do these things convince you that this island maybe, just maybe, be the origin of today’s Piggy Island?
