Another Major Problem Solved!

I was so excited today that another huge problem has been solved by those in power!

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) A lake in downtown Orlando will soon be home to every kind of swan, after new shipments of the regal birds arrive.

Lake Eola Park has long been home to mute and black swans. Now city leaders and a nonprofit group that provides veterinary care for the birds plan to import representatives of all swan species.

The first swans in that project, a pair of whooper swans, are expected to arrive by jet in Orlando on Wednesday afternoon.

Black-neck swans from South America, Coscoroba swans, trumpeter swans, the tundra swan from the Arctic and the Bewick's swan also will represented on Lake Eola by the fall. The birds' wings will be clipped to keep them in the park.

Park officials hope the plan will attract more birdwatchers to visit the city and Lake Eola.

So what say YE?? I am so happy for the bird watchers and the swans with their clipped wings. I also want to congratulate the City leaders for solving this huge problem.

It'll be intresting Frank. For years, I used to take a loaf of bread and my daughter to the park to feed swans and pidgeons. There was a noisy goose that hung aroud the bandshell that was quite the hog. He didn't seem to understand that when you ran out of bread you were out. Sometimes a good sprint was required to get away ! LOL !!!

Too many swans and that place will smell like a chicken barn that needs to be shoveled out.
However, if you want to keep swans, especially with wings clipped, make sure there are not alligators around.
Alligators will clear them up in a heart beat!

Sounds like a new version of KFC for the homeless over there.

Taste like chicken.

Lol Meb! I am not the only one that lives in Daytona!

As for the swans I think it is great, as long as alligators cannot get in. The swans would not have a chance with no wings.

Good deal! I'm glad they replaced the ones who were MIA, and added a few new varieties! Now if they can keep the foxes, coons, possums and armadillos away from the eggs.....
