More Information

These three swans were independently admitted, but all three were rendered non-releasable for different reasons. They have been on display at our facility and are comfortable being observed by members of the public - they simply continue on in their swan business. This trio would make a great addition to a display or would make wonderful founding feathered friends for an entirely new exhibit.
